Black Phoebe (Sayornis nigricans)
The black phoebe really loved to perch on my bird cage (the one I'm not using). There are a lot of bird poop on the top... If you are new here, I used to have a lot of pet birds. 2 died and 1 flew away. Now I only have 2 parakeets left, which I keep in my smaller cage now, which I can bring indoors easily. I don't use my big cage now. My big cage is located near the nest, and the black phoebe enjoys using it as a perch before flying up to its nest.
Nom nom nom... HAHA It caught a bug...
Well anyways, here is the story of this family of black phoebes. The family nested in my backyard and had baby birds. Now they flew away because the babies hatched. I enjoyed their company though. I got some great photos! :D
That looks like a dragonfly in its mouth. Nom nom nom...
Another photo of it perched on top of my bird cage. My big bird cage had a small bird play gym at the top.
Fence post got in the way of this shot... That's the thing in the bottom right corner. I was taking these photos indoors to not startle the bird. I temporarily removed my window's mesh screen to get these photos.
The bird standing on my wire vine crawler thingy I stuck in my flower pot.
You know what bugs me... How a bird can grip such a thin round piece of wire and not flip upside down. LOL
The black phoebe was from my backyard. The rest of the robin photos are from the Pleasanton Trail/Pleasanton Sports Park border...
Looks like it found a worm.
American Robin (Turdus migratorius)
This is all the photos for this post! I hope you have enjoyed viewing them. Next time, I will have some bird and squirrel photos from Pleasanton Sports Park.
