Xploring The Nature

I watched this Black Phoebe fly to a perch in this location several times then she flew under the overhanging vegetation to gathering nesting material and mud at the bottom of the bank. I expect it is getting it's nesting material right near the water as the vegetation should be easier to pull out of mud than dirt as well as the best place to gather mud for the nest. SeEtta

While Black Phoebes have overwintered a number of times in the Canon City area this is the first Black Phoebe I have seen for awhile. SeEtta
