Black Phoebe

Adult bird on nest

Found a little nest with two hatchlings

Playing on the orographic wind.

Known breeding bird

Sleepyhead. Tried my best not to disturb

adult and two chicks, growling noise like a dog, wide mouth with a pale inside.

I didn't know phoebes ate frogs...

Twofer: top right American dipper (frog posted here https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/179638378).

Next to alligator carcass

Landed on a cruise ship at night. Likely taking a break from a long flight.

Not sure what is going on but this is the fourth birder that I know of who has had a phoebe perch on their binoculars or on their person at Commons Ford.

Mueve la colita

He ate one of my lubbers! :(

American Dipper (Cinclus mexicanus)

Male and female

A mourning dove sitting on a nest built in a nook on the Saturn 1 rocket at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center

Arroyo Grande, CA. This flock of about two dozen birds has been gorging on berries, throwing them in the air repeatedly before swallowing them. Not sure why, but fun to watch!

Almost looks like a nest sandwich, looks like phoebe on bottom, barn swallow in middle and phoebe on top, maybe from multiple years
