[cobirds] Phoebe and the phoebettes, Arapahoe County

A pair of Say's phoebes nested on the drain pipe over my living room window just as they had two years ago. They were scared off by a Cooper's hawk last year before any eggs were laid.

I was really surprised when I came home tonight to hear the chirping of hatchlings! They hatched in late June 2 years ago so it surprised me that they were already out of the shell in late May. Yay!
