Description
The Black Phoebe is a dapper flycatcher of the western U.S. with a sooty black body and crisp white belly with distinctive, contrasting black and white plumage. They are small, plump songbirds with large heads and medium-long, squared tails. They often show a slight peak at the rear of the crown. The bill is straight and thin. They pump their tails up and down incessantly when perched. They sit in the open on low perches to scan for insects, often keeping up a running series of shrill chirps. Look for them near any water source from small streams, to suburbs, all the way to the salt-sprayed rocks and cliffs of the Pacific Ocean.
