A Black Phoebe -- a mostly dark flycatcher-like bird -- is sitting on a little branch just out of the water, in the shade

Black Phoebe

So remember a couple weeks ago when I went out on the Alouette River Greenway looking for a Black Phoebe, a rarity that was reported in the area? And how I then totally forgot about it and never got near the reported spot?

Anyway, guess what bird I just stumbled upon today. It’s not the best shot, but I’ll take it!
