Eastern Phoebes actually occur year round in this area. If you go into
eBird and search on Chesterfield County, you will see observations have been
recorded for the whole year.

I walked a trail at Dutch Gap today looking for woodland birds. Highlight
was an EASTERN PHOEBE. Does anyone know the late date for them around here?
I also saw 2 Hermit Thrush eating berries--the first I've seen this season.
Other species seen were just the usuals:
American Robin
Sharp-shinned Hawk
Turkey and Black Vultures
Flicker
