My last few sneak peeks at the phoebe nest with my iPhone yielded nothing but those five eggs tucked away.
Until today. Perched precariously on a ladder, I slid the iPhone over the nest and snapped.
What appears to be a quintuplet of baby pheobes didn’t even notice I was visiting while mama was off in search of food.
As the sun went down, I checked the status from afar to find mama phoebe stuck to her nest keeping her babies warm in this ridiculously chilly June evening.

Wonderful photos! Special little family there. You are so lucky to get such good photos.
We had robins fledge a couple of weeks ago. It was great to watch their progress. Also had chickadees, but they nested in a house, so we couldn’t see them as much.
