In Marquette County on an early morning bird walk my eyes caught a Eastern Phoebe diving over a small waterhole catching tiny insects. As it continually perched after getting each insect a took a few of quick photos. It was a beautiful morning with pleasant temps of 48 degrees, partly cloudy with a small breeze. Images were taken on September 28, 2026.

The Eastern Phoebe…

Preening…


Scratching…
