phoebes
Gray-brown insect hunters
Phoebes are small North American flycatchers known for their habit of pumping their tails while perched.
The eastern phoebe and Say's phoebe are common species, often nesting near human structures.
The name imitates their two-syllable call: fee-bee. (Capitalized Phoebe is a given name.)
