crowded quarters
for these (5, I think) Eastern Phoebe chicks. The nest is on top of the light in our car port, right next to our back door - for the second year! :-)
Edited to add: “Caught” the hatchlings at the last moment! This morning, 5/10, the nest was empty - they have fledged! Yay! 😀

"These birds favor open woods such as yards, parks, woodlands, and woodland edges. Phoebes usually breed around buildings or bridges on which they construct their nests under the protection of an eave or ledge."
(Seems to be true, right?)
