More birdwatching

Today as Isaac was looking out my bedroom window, he said, "There's a bird on the fence. But I don't know what kind."

I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth, so I told him I couldn't see it.

"It looks like some kind of junco," he said. "Or maybe a chickadee."

When I was done brushing, I came out and took a look for myself. It was a black phoebe. And you know what? As far as the other birds that Isaac can identify, a junco was an excellent comparison for it.
