Resting Phoebe

This Phoebe took a quick rest break from, hunting bugs in mid-air, and allowed us to capture this photo. We thought the lighting was just right. The Black Phoebe is a dapper flycatcher of the western U.S. with a sooty black body and crisp white belly. They sit in the open on low perches to scan for insects, often keeping up a running series of shrill chirps.
