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.
