Flycatchers around the marsh can be difficult to photograph as they like to perch on the side of a tree hanging over the water resulting in obstructed views. And they are fast!
This fellow was ahead of me as I wondered up the side of a pond, flitting in and out of trees and occasionally swooping out over the water. He finally took a break on some pretty dried vegetation.

This time he was rewarded with a large catch. It looks like a dragonfly even though he has it scrunched up a bit. The leafless trees gave me a clear shot but also resulted in a lot of background busyness. He promptly turned his back on me and gulped it down.

Nice sharp shots of this attractive little bird.

Thanks, Belinda! Nothing flashy about the Phoebe but attractive is a good description.

I love them! There were some born around here this year. I was able to watch the mom fly and swoop to feed them. The babies would hang out on the swingset, just watching us and waiting.
