The Phoebe

I have an affinity for Black Phoebe's.  They are flycatchers.  Flycatchers have a wonderful crest seen at it's profile angle.  They have a sweet chirp and are pleasant to watch catching insects in mid-air.  They are in many parts of California and just about any park in their range.  I like to paint Black Phoebe's.  These photographs taken in yard or thereabouts.
