Eastern Phoebe

Eastern Phoebe is not a common bird in the area where I live. They’re small birds that are not easy to spot if they are on trees. Their basic colors make a great camouflage.

E. Phoebe feed mostly on insects which they catch in flight. It is a migratory passerine bird, they do their wintering on the southern end of USA and as far as central America.

You have inspired me to try to take some shots of our little blue wrens tomorrow – wish me luck! They look a bit like these birds!

I saw one in the forest a few weeks ago when there were not many leaves on the trees. You are correct in saying they are not easy to spot.

  The only way to get pictures of them is when they stop to eat from feeders. Thanks for your comment Annie! 🙂
