I Took that Pic with him Facing into the Sunshine, but when he’s Facing a Different Direction, or the Lighting isn’t as Bright he Looks Darker, almost Like he’s Wearing a Dark Suit, Lol. It’s Funny; I See them throughout the Day All Spring Long, but by this Time of the Year I See them only a Few Times a Week.

Marines are tough
Marines are rough
Marines stay alive

They crawl under barbed wire
They crawl through mud and dirt
They crawl in any kind of weather
Marines still stay alive

Marines are lean
Marines are mean
Marines are unstoppable fighting machines

Well, I just now googled images for “phoebe bird” and I see that there are the brown variety and also the black and white phoebe's.....that's the type I saw in our yard today. The dogs chased it away, so I don't know if it will come back or not. In my Audubon book it showed the CA central valley as part of it's natural habitat, but I have never seen one here before.

I love discovering a new bird in my yard. :-)
