Black Phoebe

- The Black Phoebe is a dapper flycatcher of the western U.S. with a sooty black body and crisp white belly
- They sit in the open on low perches to scan for insects, often keeping up a running series of shrill chirps
- Black Phoebes use mud to build cup-shaped nests against walls, overhangs, culverts, and bridges
- They really like southern Arizona!
