Young Black Phoebe at Cliff House |
As I was looking for shorebirds on the beach below the Cliff House this morning (and seeing not a single one) I noticed what looked like a black phoebe. Sort of. I guess I'd never really seen (or photographed) a juvenile before. I thought I saw two of them at first, but one flew off and didn't come back. The still images in this post show both birds, both juveniles. I hung out for a while (though not as long as I would have had it been sunny and warm), but no adult came to feed them.
