Phoebe Babies

We have been enjoying a couple of Phoebe families down on the farm. Some cowbirds have been loitering around this year, so last week we checked the nests to make sure there were no young cowbirds or eggs to mess things up for these cute little birds. The babies in the first picture fledged the day after I took the photo. Spike noticed them stretching their wings, so we locked him up in the garage for the day.

These little guys won't be ready to leave the nest for a while. Mama bird came right back after I took their picture.
