Maya is doing a good job incubating all those eggs! I don’t know how she fits on top of them all!

Eastern Phoebe Nest Under Deck

I discovered this Eastern Phoebe nest under our deck in an area where it won’t get rained on. The phoebes have been active on the nest since they started to lay the eggs, but only in recent days once they had laid a full clutch have they been even more protective of the nest.

Having a rest.

Eastern Phoebe nest with eggs

2 weeks ago this nest appeared complete and had cowbird eggs in it. Last week the Phoebe built a new nest “liner” on top of the old one, burying the cowbird eggs. Today only phoebe eggs. Clever bird

14 Day Old Say’s Phoebe’s

Say’s Phoebe’s 14 days old from hatching and looking anxious to leave the nest. Haven’t had them long but we’ll miss them once they decide to leave, they’ve been fun to watch the last few weeks.
