The Eastern Phoebe has a large habitat range across North America: spending winters in Northern Mexico and Florida, and summers as far North as the central Yukon Territory in Canada. As climate change affects habitat, birds like these will be forced to adapt,  resorting to higher elevations and changing food sources.

This small bird has a unique place in history for birders everywhere. The Eastern Phoebe is the first species to be systematically monitored by tagging, to be tracked year after year as they complete their seasonal migrations.
