Lives, Habitat & Pictures of the Phoebes
There are three types of the phoebes species seen in North America, the Eastern Phoebe can be found throughout the eastern half of the continent, from the North-West Territories, all the way into Mexico. The Say's Phoebe lives in the western regions of North America, from the northern corners of Alaska, right into Mexico. The Black Phoebe has the smallest areas, seen along the western coast as high up as Oregon and into Mexico.
Phoebes are a common sight around old structures, where they can be found nesting on any available ledge of abandoned
buildings, or even around occupied dwellings, where they can build a nest and feel safe. Except for the Say's Phoebe, phoebes
prefer to have water close by, where they can feed on flies and bugs, a key source of their daily food.
