Some of the birds seem to play hide and seek with me.
There is at least one Black Phoebe that visits our garden.
It sings a lot, getting my attention.
Then as soon as I aim the camera it flies away.
It first landed on one of our empty tomato cages.
Then flew to a neighbor's roof (above image).
I was fortunate to capture an image of it in flight when it flew off the roof.
