I will always remember the first time I saw a phainopepla. I was at the Old Mission Dam walking around and saw a striking, shiny black bird topped with a mohawk zooming fast through the trees. I thought for sure this was an exotic bird which had escaped from a local owner! I later learned the red-eye wonder was a phainopepla, a local Mission Trails Regional Park bird, wild as can be.<\/p>\n

\"iNaturalist<\/a>
Phainopepla (Cortes\u00eda MTRP)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The iNaturalist observation is a female, more grayish in appearance than her male counterpart. In flight, a wide white bar shows near the tip of the wing.<\/p>\n

I am sure you have noticed the mistletoe atop trees by the river. It\u2019s a favorite on the phainopepla menu. According to All About Birds, a single bird can eat upward of 1,100 mistletoe berries in a day. Now I\u2019ll let you guess how mistletoe seeds spread out on plants and what type of \u201cglue\u201d keeps them in place atop a branch. Being part of the silky-flycatcher family, phainopepla also enjoy insects: beetles, flies, true bugs and caterpillars. Oh my!<\/p>\n
