phoebe! phoebe! phoebe!

mom and pop phoebe are raising a family on my back porch platform again this year. 

i'm so honored!
 (see last year's nest http://sitsup.blogspot.com/2011/05/phoebe.html)

they have a trio of hungry mouths and they are run ragged from early predawn (4 or 4:30 am) to dusk (8 or so) bringing creepy crawly things, flappy things, and probably spiders, since i don't see any in the porch eaves. 

next year i'll wash the windows before they get here -- i realized i can see the nest from a back window.
