adel, one of my bird books has pictures of the Black Phoebe with and without the white on the tail. Perhaps it's a seasonal or a gender thing. Bet Resin will let us know.

Hi adel, Read the description on here; white belly and undertail.

Tiger and Pelle.......thanks......more info needed. I have a USFS poster with drawings of birds. They call one of the birds a Rufous Sided Towhee. It looks like a Spotted Towhee. Ever hear this name before?

That's the old name for both the Spotted Towhee and the Eastern Towhee. They're considered two different species now.

Yep, Black Phoebe. The 'white' is just sunlight reflecting off the feathers - you can see the shadow of the wire half-way down the tail, appearing as a black band.

Lots of great shots!

I haven't seen a Mistle Thrush since they had their young in my garden, but today I heard one making their croaking noise. (if that's how to describe it!)

It few onto the electricity pole across the road, this one has very nice markings.

Just for fun, a sillhouetted Crow as it shot over the top of the house!
