what kind of bird is that?!?!

I thought I knew my typical backyard birds until a couple of these little guys showed up on the front porch this morning. I don't recall ever seeing them before, but a little research suggests they are a type of flycatcher -- an Eastern Phoebe, maybe?

Do you know what kind of bird this is?

cute lil thang

sure aint no cuckoo bird !

Don't go near that bird. It is the deadly Eye Peckamous.

Double-breasted Seersucker?

joe - i was gonna suggest a phoebe, but the fluff on it's head made me wonder. it may be a young one.

There's this "tall/skinny" one -- then there's a short/fat one, too.

Looks like a gnatcatcher.

It is one that likes to drop bombs on my car

To me they are all the same, that is what they do

I just googled eastern phoebe and clicked on images and a couple of the pictures look very similar (including the fluff on its head).

LOL -- I'm looking up the ones you all suggested. I guess the only sure way to tell is to listen to them sing for a little while, then check out the sound clips on the All About Birds website. If I figure it out, I'll let you know!

You've got a good point, webegb! Thanks for pointing that out
