Day 6 Life Birds

Today I saw my first Black Phoebe! It was flitting around at the shoreline pumping its tail like they do.

I also saw a couple of American Dippers and I saw one bring food up to a cliff side nest.

I love the Black Phoebe!  This bird was a life bird!
The American Dipper is an interesting bird to watch as it walks 
into the fast moving streams in search of food.
I saw the female Black-chinned Hummingbird on day 3 of the trip, but 
this was the first time to see the male.  It was a beautiful and tiny bird.
I have seen few Black Grosbeak, so this was a treat to see!
I finally got a photo of a Western Bluebird that shows its vibrant colors.
