Saturday we had a humdinger of a rain storm.
Thunder, lightening, hail and rain dumping all around us.
I went into the kitchen to pour myself another cup of coffee and looked out our sliding patio door.
There sitting right on the top of the broom handle was a sweet little bird.
He had come in under our roof to get out of the hail and cold.
I had my phone with me and snapped a shot through the window just before he got startled and flew away.
I found out he is a Black Phoebe. I have seen them bouncing around on our lawn stirring up some tasty bugs, but never just balancing on the broom handle before.
Not the greatest photo but I'm glad I got it at all.
Have a great day...
Cool. We get Phoebe's here too (Southeast Georgia). I like watching them chase the bugs.
ReplyDeleteWe need rain! Please send us some. LOL
Blessings.
Perfect timing! I've never heard of a Phoebe, but I like the name. Must ask our resident starlings and cardinals.
ReplyDeleteSmart bird. Your timing was perfect!
ReplyDeletesweet little guy, and so glad he found a safe port under your roof edge, love this
ReplyDeleteSweet little bird! I think birds are so hard to photograph.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! It almost looks like an ornament on the broom top!
ReplyDeleteSaturday was a dreadful day of rain. Never had any thunderstorm here but across town there was some. I had to give my dog a trazadone anyway, just in case when my husband texted me telling me it was thundering downtown. I think other places got more rain than we did but it was at least over an inch!
ReplyDeletePoor bird. I saw a wet hummingbird on Saturday out my kitchen window...try getting a photo of a hummingbird with an iPhone is impossible. (at least for me it is)
Warmer days are in the forecast so that will be good for the bones!
Have a great week.
Awww...so glad he found refuge with you!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet...
Happy week!
hugs

ReplyDeleteHaha, you are getting birds - I am still trying!
