Juvenile Black Phoebe
May 28, 2019 15:45:17 #
This little one visited my yard and perched on the pole where the old pool slide used to be mounted. Then took off to skim the water. I believe they are snatching up drowning bugs from the pool.
When I saw it I thought "Black Phoebe" but whats with the colors. Checked "All About Birds" and found all the buff and white marks are a juvenile.

Thanks, this one was a surprise. When I glanced out I thought "What is a sparrow doing on that pole, that is where the Phoebes perch to watch for bugs in the pool!"
