Flycatcher - common name for various members of the Old World family Muscicapidae, insectivorous songbirds including the kingbirds, phoebes, and pewees.
Phoebes are proud members (at least they seem so) of the Family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. These New World flycatchers are almost uniformly aggressive insectivores, but vary widely in size and plumage.

The Say's Phoebe (Sayornis saya) is a widespread flycatcher in western North and Central America from Alaska to Mexico. Its simple two note call is a common sound in the grassland and even montane habitats where the species lives.
Phoebes have a couple of notable factors helping to identify them by sight and also by song. When perched, Phoebes have a habit of 'pumping' their tail in an up & down motion.
Say's Phoebe is a phoebe of drier habitats in the western part of the U.S. They will often nest on and around farm buildings in the western part of the state.
Black Phoebes need water and mud for nesting; they reside along stream banks and ponds in open country, farmlands, parks, and residential yards. These birds prefer areas with a mix of openings and shrubs or thickets.
