Watching Birds in My Neighborhood

Calimesa and Beaumont

Birds in My Neighborhood

 

Yesterday I noticed one of my dogs quietly watching the patio area and her tail was wagging. I snuck outside using the side door and there was a cute little bird sitting on my garden wall.

This bird is called a "Black Phoebe" and has distinctive marking with the two tone coloring and their sharp whistle call.

Birds in My Calimesa Neighborhood

I had a family of these birds at my previous home and they would have 3-4 nests per year. The entire family of Phoebes will  bring insects to the birds in the nests and the birds fledge in about 14 days.

I have a blue jay lives near us. I do not see them live on one tree. I do notice several nests not sure which ones.   The highlight was when the baby birds learned to fly, they glide if not hopping. The watchful cat got really excited. He would not harm them, however.

Hi Sam Shueh 

The last nest of birds to fledge I missed but.....was out about 6:30 am that morning and one of the babies was sitting on the fence. I quietly watched for what seemed to be a long while and then one of the parents landed beside the little one. Then they both flew off together. Afterwards the 3 babies would come back to the nest and then fly off like it was their safe haven. I was sorry to move and leave my black phoebe family.

Hi Anna Banana Kruchten 

Yes, it is so amazing to see these birds. I missed my family of phoebes so very excited to know they are in this community also. Wish I knew where their nest was.

Hi Bob Crane 

One thing I forgot to mention is that they come onto my patio and block garden wall every morning and hunt for insects which is a terrific way to keep the bugs away!

Kristin Hamilton CA Realtor I will bet you were relieved the Black Phoebe stood its ground long enough for you to take a few photos. Thanks for sharing!

That is interesting.  A couple weeks ago, I saw a couple birds like that one in my yard.  I hadn't seen that species before, and wondered what they were called!

Hi Sandy Padula and Norm Padula, JD, GRI 

Amazingly enough they were more interested in my dogs on the other side of the   slider so they just sat there singing loudly and driving my dogs nuts!

Hi Myrl Jeffcoat 

I read where they are from South America and primarly in Washington and Oregon so maybe they are migration south.

Hi Troy Erickson 

Yes it is sometimes very difficult when they do not want to stay put. They didn't see me come in from the side as they were looking at the dogs instead.
