CLOSED: Eastern wood pewee??

It's a bad photo, I know. My best guess is eastern wood pewee, though I would think it may be a bit late for them here. Other guesses are eastern phoebe, or eastern kingbird

Next to the great egret for size comparisson

Eastern Phoebe, given the dark head contrasting strongly with the white chin. And as you half-suspected, pewees will be in South America by now!

Must be a late traveler. Saw him flying around today with at least 2 others. It's been pretty warm here (up in the high 70's) so maybe they just forgot where they were :) The next front will surely move them on down south

Thanks!

Eastern Phoebe will stay all winter where you are - their winter range given by Sibley extends north to central TX east to NC

Think I am right on....the Eastern Wood Phoebe speaks it's own name....a high shrill Phoeebee while showing it's tail pump which is a dead give away if observed with the call. They have left our area (Northcentral Pa.), to winter with you. Enjoy.
