Black Phoebes are insect eaters so this flycatcher Michele Melio photographed might be on the lookout for a passing bug.
Black Phoebes make their nests out of mud so they need to be close to a water source. Those who reside year round here have the Pacific Ocean, a handful of rivers, and many seasonal creeks for their needs. They have a whistling call that you can hear at this link to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Black_Phoebe/sounds
Here is a closeup of a Black Phoebe, this one taken by Craig Tooley.
Thanks to Michele and Craig for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
It's a cool, sunny day. Fog covered the Pacific Ocean for a while and there are some clouds passing by. Dry weather is predicted through the weekend, with rain the first of the week.
