We have the blacks here - in fairly good numbers. Elsewhere in Oregon they are fairly scarce, so on the birder's lists one sees Black phoebe sightings reported with great excitement. I think they are beginning to spread N, however, along with everything else

Thanks , Karen. We were walking on a trail and there were 2 phoebes. The black and this one. My husband thought that the Black was prettier and he said ,"Photograph this one" I said "are you kidding?! this is a Says phoebe! I rarely get to see it!"I think that both the phoebes are lovely. Flycatchers in fact are beauties.

Yes, nice spotting of Say's Phoebe! Wasn't sure whether to make an ID suggestion when you had the right guess yourself?!
