Remsen, J.V. 1975 Eastern Phoebe Sayornis phoebe Jan. 10 Los Angeles County Arboretum, Los Angeles Co., Calif: I seen which had apparently been present for at least a week or two. A W. Wood Pewee-sized flycatcher with very dark brown wings, back, head and face, contrasting strongly with very white throat and chest (some dark on sides of chest) with pale belly, faintly tinged yellow. No wing-bars or eye-ring. Wagging tail. Watched for 5 minutes to within 30 feet. May 3 Carizzo + Cottonwood Creeks, Baca Co., Calif: 2 pairs found along stream bottoms with flowing water. It seemed very strange to see them in this near-desert habitat - Black Phoebe would be much more appropriate. Nov. 2 Monterey area Monterey Co., Calif: 1 in Carmel River bed near sewage treatment plant. Very dark brown upperparts, including cap and face extending below eye giving strong contrast between dark upperparts and white underparts with only a tinge of darkness on sides of breast; wagged tail. Only seen for about 10 seconds, but Binford, Bolander, and Parmeter all saw it and confirmed ID. Dec. 4 Kelso, San Bernardino Co., Calif: 1 at the water-tower at NE end of town. Very dark brown upperparts, especially head and face which contrasted with slightly paler back and pure white throat; face dark to below eye; underparts mostly whitish with some brownish on upper part of sides of breast, and tinge of yellowish on vent; 2 faint wing-bars; consistently wagging its tail; jerky phoebe flight; seen well several times from as close as 40'.
