we’ve got babies on the way…

…baby birds that is.

The awning outside our bedroom window has become the nesting place for a pair of Eastern Phoebes. If you look close, you can see a lot of horse hair they used on the inside of the nest. According to what I’ve read, it only takes a couple of weeks for the eggs to hatch and then a couple more and they’re gone (the babies anyway). They can have three or four broods before they leave again in the fall. It will be exciting to watch. Who knows, maybe we’ll get a cowbird egg in there. :)
