		I was caught off guard when I spotted this Eastern Phoebe atop a Great Mullein in a small meadow near Athens, Ontario. I'd seen this species several times previously, but always near a waterway. I slowly raised my camera and captured a few photos just as rain began to fall, the Phoebe was unperturbed and continued scanning the area for insects to eat.
