Default What kind is it?
This little guy was hanging around the back yard on the weekend. I have no idea as to what family of birds it belongs to but the colour was a beautiful blue.

Hi Tamcry. Great shots. I am pretty sure this is a male Black Phoebe. Was it in your home town, cos they don't normally get that far north, although not impossible? Thank you for bringing this beautiful creature to us. PAUL

Paul I live in Burlington Ontario Canada. I have never seen this one before in our area. I will look up to see what a Black Phoebe looks like and compare it.
Thanks,
Al
