This past Saturday was a great day for me at my favorite spot. Birds galore! It was a cold and cloudy day so it was even better;fewer people and nice soft light(no shadows). I was leaving and almost ready to leave the park when I happened on this Black Phoebe catching insects. The Black Phoebe is a type of flycatcher so when its feeding it flys out from a perch and then back to that perch or somewhere nearby, and so on and so on. I think that the Black Phoebe is a very sleek looking bird. What do you think?

What a good capture. That's a new kind of bird for me. Looks well fed. Great capture. I have a cat named Phoebe.

Another great bird capture Garrett. This one looks like it was easier to spot. Fine detail and DOF in this image. Nice job.

Another beauty Garrett. It never ceases to amaze me how many beautiful birds are out there. The patterns and colors created by their feathers. I love the way the tail feathers on Phoebe look as though they are outlined in silver. A great shot.

I agree with it being a sleek bird Garrett. This is a sleek shot as well. The background compliments Phoebe as well. Wonderful post.

It is a fine looking bird and not at all seen in my neck of the woods on the east coast. A fine shot, thanks for sharing.

What a beautiful precious bird photo!!! What an elegant birdie!! I will try my best to do a canvas painting of him soon, if that's ok with you. You are so fortunate to even see such lovely bird. Thank you ever so much. I love the soft background with him being so dark...wicked good!! Verena

I think it's a true beauty, Garrett! Love it! Excellent, crisp details and it's quite striking against the silver and yellow tones in the background! An outstanding addition to your bird series! Saved & faved.
