Here are a couple of photos my wife took of an Eastern Phoebe perched on our front porch. If you look carefully you will notice the bristles around the base of the bill. This feature helps to funnel flying insects into the mouths of flycatchers.

Nikon D80 70-300mm VR at 300mm, 1/200sec, ISO 400, f/5.6, hand held.
