Ben sees first Phoebe

sent this e-mail yesterday, March 10. The Spring Migration has now officially begun. Guess I'd better head for the park!

I'm at the Apple store on 5th Ave. Just wanted to let you know I saw an Eastern Phoebe at the south end of the reservoir [emphasis mine] and soon after Tom Fiore got on the bird. This was around 7:15a this morning.

All the best.

Ben added a few details on e-birds:
The Phoebe was seen flying into a leafless bush on the south edge of the reservoir well west of the South Gate House. Tom Fiore was also there to see the bird. A couple stopped by the feeders later on letting us know they spotted a Phoebe at Sheep Meadow today.
