Interesting Tidbit: Eastern Phoebe feeds primarily on insects, such as flying insects,
wasps, ants, flies, and wild bees. They eat also invertebrates such as grasshoppers,
spiders, hair worms from the water, and small fishes and crustaceans in shallow water.
It may eat some fruit and few seeds, when insects are less abundant. Eastern Phoebes
nest is strongly parasitized by brown-headed cowbird. Female cowbird removes Phoebes
eggs, and its egg is rarely rejected by the Eastern Phoebe female.
