Eastern Phoebe
(Sayornis phoebe)
Common flycatcher of woodland edges. Numbers are much lower in winter.
Black lower mandible differentiates this species from the similar Eastern Wood-pewee. Phoebes also tend to pump their tails while sitting.
Found regularly near the park amphitheater, visitor center campground, and the Maple Springs parking lot.
