Sayornis saya (Say's Phoebe).
They were synchronizing.
On Day 4 of our Road Trip, we stayed at our friend's place and he took us to Umtanum Creek Canyon area. We enjoyed nice hiking and found some flowers and berries.
On that day, it was my birthday and, to my surprise, one of my friend's grandchildren has the same birthday as mine, so they celebrate my birthday, too.
I used pretty often that knife he gave me during our trip and I am using the mug they gave me here in Fairbanks!
