Wildlife Gardening: My favorite visitor, 1 by TheRedlines

This here is a little buddy of mine who always comes to visit at sunset and whenever I start the mower. He comes and perches on the fence where he has a good vantage point. As soon as the mower spooks a bug he'll come swooping in catching the bug in mid air. This is the clearest shot I have gotten yet as he seems to be camera shy. He is called a Black Phoebe. We call him Alfalfa. He just recently brought his sweetheart by along with their little youngster. We were so happy to meet them. The little one was the cutest little thing. He would flap his wings so hard while accomplishing what his parents made look effortless. They are quite the little acrobats. I'll post better pics as soon as I get them.
