We also have phoebes back in a nest that has been in the peak of our shed for several years. Do we know that it’s the same pair every year? And how many years do phoebes reproduce? Just wonderin’.

Yet I saw one of the phoebe’s make two of those athletic maneuvers during these weeks, so perhaps it was finding an aberrant fly. But today I found a dead phoebe, so I think that may be the answer. This start/stop spring is taking a toll.
