Phoebe nestlings

Phoebes have nested just outside our front door ever since these beams went up. The first fledgling from the first brood of the season flew today. The first landing pad was my car, about 15 feet away, but nearby shrubs soon proved more attractive. Even with one of the five gone, it is a crowded nest, and my guess is that these siblings won't be far behind. (6/8/14 The other four have all left the nest.)
