Today I stopped by Toppenish Creek at Lateral C in Yakima County and was
greeted with the calls and sight of a Black Phoebe. While I watched and
listened it caught and ate a dragonfly.

It kept calling and foraging during my stay, upstream and downstream.

I didn't use any playback, pishing or other harassment, as per the <a href="
http://listing.aba.org/ethics/" rel="nofollow">ABA Code of Birding
Ethics</a> regarding rare and sensitive species.

This is probably the same bird I found here in February,

which in turn is likely the same bird found here in September 2017.

Most cars and trucks slowed, and this time school buses actually slowed as
they drove past me standing on the roadside, perhaps in response to an
email I'd sent to the superintendent with photos of them racing past
throwing rocks and clouds of dust.

Good Birding
