We have a new family at Chez Crockett - at least for a while! A family of Phoebe's. Susan Gelettly first noticed them. The have built a nest between the window and the screen, made possible because the window (an awning-type, thus creating a kind of eave) was open for days on end. Initially there were five little eggs. Now there are at least four little hatchlings. The mother is very vigilant and becomes frantic if we try to move the curtain and take a peek. I got a photo while was off getting food.
A very poor, hastily-made photo of baby Phoebes.
