🌎 Black phoebe (Sayornis nigricans)

The black phoebe is a small, dark bird in the tyrant-flycatcher family with a sooty-black body and a bright white belly. It has a thin, black bill and often flicks its tail. Found in the Americas, from southwestern USA to Argentina, it favours habitats close by water sources. It perches conspicuously, then darts out to catch insects in flight. It often returns to the same perch. Its distinctive "chip" call and tail-wagging are characteristic behaviours. Six subspecies are commonly recognized.

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

This Black Phoebe chirped it up while catching insects mid-air in our backyard today. This is the first time we’ve had a Black Phoebe stick around long enough for a photo #BlackPhoebe #BirdPhotography #Fujifilm

A small, brown Black Phoebe bird is perched on a thin branch amidst a background of brown twigs and thick wooden elderberry stems. The bird has a dark head, gray body, and white wing markings. The setting appears natural, surrounded by dry foliage with a wooden fence in the background.

Black phoebe, sitting on a thick grayish green branch. Its body is facing the camera, revealing white belly feathers, contrasting with black feathers over the rest of its body. The bird is looking slightly to the right. The background is light brown and out of focus.

One of the few easily distinguishable Tyrannidae looks suitably distinguished in black tie and tails, perched among dry branches. A black head fades gently back towards a long, grayish tail, and a hint of the bright white breast feathers emerge above its black claws.

At the refuge, the only newcomers are white crowns and white fronted geese. But I only photographed a Black Phoebe that just pooped and a rather brave squirrel. #SacramentoWildlifeRefuge #BirdWatching #BlackPhoebe #Squirrel #Fujifilm #SooC

A small, Black Phoebe is perched on a barren, leafless branch against a clear blue sky. The branch extends across the photo and ends at the center where the bird is. A falling drop of bright white bird poop is barely visible below the bird.

For now, here’s an urban Black Phoebe #BlackPhoebe #Birds #BirdWatching

A small bird is perched on a tree branch amidst dense green foliage. The bird has a black head, back, and wings with a light-colored belly. Dappled sunlight filters through the leaves.

Black Phoebe bird, standing on a the end of a vertical pipe, looking to the right. The pipe was once painted yellow, but now the yellow paint is flaking off, revealing the silvery metal underneath. The background is green and out of focus.
