A couple of days ago a friend told me that a phoebe  was attacking 
chickadees at her feeder. My response was, "Yeah, right, why don't you 
look up sharp shinned hawk?" However, she persisted in her conviction 
that it was a phoebe. She subsequently  sent me a couple of photos taken 
on her cell phone. The pictures are not great, but they have convinced 
me that the bird, which was present on  Jan 10 and again on Jan 12, was 
indeed a phoebe. This seems to me to be a remarkable date. I have seen a 
phoebe in the Upper Valley in December but never in January.
