The Say's phoebe is a
flycatcher. It tends to prefer an open perch where it can watch a
large area. When an insect flies within range, the phoebe will
dash out, catch it, and return to the perch. This one is watching
a ball field for low flying insects.
This view shows the phoebe's back and
his black tail.
