I hope I see one soon! They come to my backyard not every year. Nice captures, Julie. ๐ Loading... Reply
Thanks, H.J. Most years, we have a nest under our shed roof. Really fun to see the little babies peeking out! Loading... Reply
Beautiful photos, Julie, I really like their color scheme. Eastern Phoebes are considered rare here, but we usually get to see a few each year, so I’m hoping for a sighting. Loading... Reply

I looked up the Western Phoebe. Would that be the sweet black one?

I love these little guys. So cute
They are spunky, I think!
Yes, and it seems to me difficult to photograph, so kudos to you.
Thanks ,VJ.
Welcome!
Interesting photos. I don’t recall ever seeing a phoebe!
They sit very still, then suddenly zip off to catch bugs. Fun to watch!
