Out in the grass as the sunlight started to fade a Says Phoebe enjoys their perch.
All About Birds says “these open-country birds have cinnamon-washed underparts and a rather gentle expression. They sally from low perches to snatch insects in midair or pounce on them on the ground. Say’s Phoebes often pump their tails while perched on a wire, fence post, or low bush. They breed farther north than any other flycatcher and are seemingly limited only by the lack of nest sites.”

It is always a treat to see a Says Phoebe.
nature has no boss 
It really is always a treat to see the Says Phoebe. They’re aerial feats of catching insects, and that divine peach color, quiet and efficient hunters. Terrific photo, Mike.

Hi Eliza, I believe they are a western US bird. Very good looking with that nice peachy breast.

There are phoebes nesting on the top corners of Grecian columns at the historic 1860s main house at Mt. Aventine.

Hi, that must be an interesting place to have a nest. I do hope the building caretaker are OK with having a few visitor (non-paying ones) for the summer.
