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. :-)

I Hope it Comes Back, Dear Lori; my Doggie Slept beneath the Phoebe's Nest One Day for a Couple of Hours while it was Raining, and they didn't Like it, Lol, but Seemed to Adjust to her being Around.
