What am I?

Need ID help on this stout and very vocal visitor to my backyard.

Southern Cal, December.

Thanks,
Brendan

Thanks Bill - I just looked up description and it does seem to match.

Definitely a Black Phoebe. Nice to have in your yard and coming that close.

Cute little Phoebe. Difficult bird to photograph!
