Say's Phoebe Say’s Phoebe – A Say’s Phoebe’s Way

A Say’s Phoebe’s Way

My name by the way
hails from one Thomas Say
A naturalist he
from a past century
Entomology his game
and for me it’s the same
For look at my beak
it is “bugs” that I seek
When I’m out on the fly
I do more than get by
From the air I do snatch
many insects I catch
Hover I will
while making my kill
Multi-tasking I seem
while from plants I do glean
One might just say
it’s a Say’s Phoebe’s way

The Say’s Phoebe is a member of the Flycatcher Family.
