Description
This is a Black Phoebe that I photographed during the golden hour in Irvine California. The black Phoebe, Sayornis Nigricans, is a passerine bird in the tyrant-flycatcher family. It breeds from southwest Oregon and California south through Central and South America. It occurs year-round throughout most of its range and migrates less than the other birds in its genus, though its northern populations are partially migratory. Six subspecies are commonly recognized, although two are occasionally combined as a separate species, the white-winged phoebe.

How pretty...I love these little beauties. Love how they dart around for bugs. Nice closeup and light.

A beautiful bird! I wish we had them over here, but probably our climate would be too harsh for them!
