Black Phoebe

This black bird keeps visiting our garden, especially in the morning. It is alone.

It is called Black Phoebe and is usually found near water. Its diet is mainly insects.

Sept 29 Update:

The bird is usually by itself in the yard. These days it hangs around tomato plants and
has been drinking tomato juice from a couple of tomatoes. Guess, I also have a natural insect control ...
This picture was taken through a (not well cleaned) window.. so, it is a little blurred.

Full moon tonight... Moon was looking nice!

Fall Gardening in the Bay Area

Here is a link to a fall gardening blog for the bay area.

I already notice some of the Chrisanthamums have little flowers in the garden.
It is time to think what is going to replace the tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers in the
vegetable beds come October.
