The adult Say's Phoebe is a drab, chunky bird. It is gray-brown above with a black tail and buffy cinnamon below, becoming more orange around the vent. The wings seem pale in flight and resemble a female Mountain Bluebird. The juvenile is similar to adult, but has buffy orange to whitish wingbars and a yellow gape.
Fun Fact They attach their nests under bridges, canyon walls, wells and abandoned mine shafts. The nest is made by the female and is cup-shaped. It is made of grass, forbs, moss and plant fibers lined with hair and other fine materials.
