Polioptila caerulea
Black Phoebe (nestlings)--Sayornis nigricans
This was an interesting nest. Earlier in the spring, I saw it on the side of an old building at the Malakoff Diggin's State Park. There were spider webs blocking the entrance so that I thought it was last year's nest. I have checked it twice since and finally on the third time, I saw these three nestlings inside with mom and dad coming in regularly to feed them. The spider webs were still intact.
