Eastern phoebe

A tiny bit of plant matter can be seen in the bill of this phoebe. It is one of a pair building a nest at the garden. If they nest successfully, it will be the first nesting of the species at the Fletcher garden!

Speaking of nesting, the red-breasted nuthatch pair have seemingly abandoned their attempts to nest in a maple snag. Perhaps this is for the best, because the location was very public, and very easily interfered with.

What a lovely photo of this Phoebe . The upright but slightly tilted bird with the diagonal boards makes a perfect composition. Even the colours are in the same range and work perfectly with each other.
