Western Phoebe
The Western Phoebe is a small, insect-eating bird found primarily in western North America. It has a grayish-brown body, a pale belly, and a distinctive dark head. This bird is often seen perched on low branches or fences, where it waits to catch flying insects.
Western Phoebes are known for their characteristic call, which sounds like "fee-bee." They typically build their nests in sheltered areas, such as under eaves or bridges, using mud and plant materials. These birds are migratory, spending winters in warmer regions of the southern United States and Mexico.
