From about May 3 to May 10, the two baby black phoebes left the nest outside our door and were observed hopping about the branches of trees in our backyard, which turned into a combo nursery/flight school. The daddy would feed them periodically. Now they seem to have left our backyard and moved on.
And the female is back at her nest hatching a second brood. Yesterday, we discovered that there are 4 eggs in the nest. More to come!
