Eastern Phoebe

We had a nice surprise when I spotted this bird sitting in the bush next to our feeder. After a lot of research my wife figured that it is the Eastern Phoebe. They have built a nest on the top of the curved part of one of our downspouts.

Cool bird. We don't get these around here. You have caught the eye too which sometimes I find hard when they have dark feathers around them.

Skip, I want to thank you for selecting my shot from Del Mar as a favorite fav of another person on 365. I deeply appreciate it. As to this photo, I like how the branch frames the bird and the excellent choice of dof.

I really like the way you've composed this with the limbs sort of framing this sweet bird. The lighting is wonderful. How fun to have a phoebe resident - in- house!
