How to spot
Listen for its characteristic 'fee-bee' call, often repeated continuously. Look for it perched upright, often pumping its tail, near buildings or over water.
When to spot
Breeding: spring to early summer in North America. Migration: early spring (March-April) and fall (September-October). Wintering: fall through winter in the southern parts of its range.
