Yesterday morning when I arrived at Angler’s Cove, I climbed the stairs to the Ferrari Pond Trail instead of walking up the path because I noticed that the Black Phoebes were in one of the trees close to the stairs. Most mornings when I arrive, the Black Phoebes are the first birds that greet me but I rarely manage to photograph them. This one was on a perch with a great background and was a cooperative subject. It was slightly backlit giving the feathers on its head, sides, and tail just a hint of rim lighting.
