    Black Phoebe(?) and Bird Feeder

    Hello! I had read that Black Phoebes only eat insects and do not feed at the bird feeder. However I see this bird coming to feed daily from my feeder. Am I misidentifying this bird? Here are some pictures below. BTW I'm in Southern California, pictures taken in Newport Beach, CA in my...

    This phoebe was flying back and forth over the pond, presumably on the hunt.

    No California birding day without at least seeing one Black Phoebe. No multi-day California trip without at least one decent Black Phoebe photo.

    My daily Phoebe

    Most California trips I see at least one Black Phoebe per day. This trip started off in that vein, with two of them on the fence of the homeless shelter in the park by Fort Mason. But I've actually had several days since when I haven't seen a single one. Still ... can't complain. Over 50 species...

    The daily Phoebe

    Not a birding day in Northern California without at least one Black Phoebe. This was just the second morning of my visit, and the daily Phoebe rule did hold true throughout, but this was the best Phoebe shot I got so I probably won't post any more of them.
