Not sure if this adds to the thread:
Although not really similar to "Phoebe" - but also not less similar than a Bird
of Paradise! - there are three tryrants in North America:
Eastern Phoebe, Say's Phoebe and Black Phoebe.
I have and love HANZAB, but I am not so sure if HANZAB would have helped with
these three species ;-)
Cheers,
Nikolas

Such a cool book! Any parent wanting a beautifully illustrated kids book will
