I believe this is a pair of Eastern Phoebe’s that have already had one nesting cycle on my back porch. They laid 5 eggs and 4 babies made it out of the nest alive, 1 of them fell out and died from the fall. It’s been a few weeks and now they are back and have laid another 5 eggs in the same nest.
Yes, those are phoebes. My phoebes that would land on my fence (no nest though) have migrated so now I see Eastern Wood-Pewees sometimes, which is strange because all the forest got cut down.
Eastern Phoebe.
