Strolling down the hill halfway through our afternoon walk while wallowing ourselves in the vibrant shades of summer, our attention was caught by a svelte flycatcher feeding gracefully in flight. It is grayish brown with a cinnamon belly and under tail.
We'd later find out from our guide book that it's called Say's Phoebe. I thought it was a curious name and couldn't resist Googling the origin of the appellation. The species was named in honor of the American naturalist, Thomas Say.
