Sayornis phoebe 1896 Lake Umbagog. September A Phoebe in full autumnal plumage visited our camp at 17 2/5 Pine Point this morning. It was raining at the time and the bird kept low down among the brinks fluttering from place to place, doubling out after insects & wagging its tail when perched. It was very tame & I had an excellent view of it. It must have been a migrant for I looked for the species in vain in May and June last in the region about the lake. 1898.
