Swarms of midges at the pond
Hiding in my hoodie
A black phoebe in a tree
What a dapper flycatcher they can be
Eat away black phoebe
Help save me

BOTD: Black Phoebe
Photo: Mick Thompson
"The sharp whistled call of the Black Phoebe is a typical sound along creeks and ponds in the southwest. The birder who explores such areas is likely to see the bird perched low over the water, slowly wagging its tail, then darting out in rapid flight to snap up an insect just above the water's surface. Related to the familiar Eastern Phoebe of eastern North America, this species has a much wider range, living along streams from California to Argentina."
- Audubon Field Guide

MOST ICONIC BIRD CALL BRACKET: FINAL MATCH OF ROUND ONE: BLUE JAY vs. BLACK PHOEBE
IN THE BLUE CORNER, we have the wrestler with the attitude, the blue-plumed bad boy, the blue jay!
this hard-hitting passerine is one tough customer, with a beak that can crush seeds and nuts. with a sleek blue and white plumage that demands attention, the blue jay is not one to be ignored. less beautiful than its appearance is its voice - backyard birders in north america will tremble in fear at that loud, gull-like shriek. what the average birder might not know is that blue jays are also talented mimics, known to copy the cries of both humans and other birds. (attached is the alarm call, which is the most common call they make, but your announcer would like to give a special shout-out to the squeaky gate call as well.)
IN THE RED CORNER, we have the passerine powerhouse, the black phoebe!
an agile opponent, this feathered fighter is a patient and nimble hunter, spending its days lying it wait for unfortunate bugs to get too close. don't let that fool you, though - this bird is anything but sedentary. as soon as it sees potential prey, it's quick to fire off that perch and snatch all manners of insect right out of the sky. this bird's call is notable enough to be the source of its name, a two-syllable "phoe-be" or "tee-hee."

There've been a couple male Black Phoebes hanging around on the fence outside my window. It's been fun sitting here watching them catch insects. 🦋
