It's been three days since the eggs hatched in the Eastern Phoebe nest. I try to stay away from the area as much as possible to avoid getting the parents too upset. I was able to get a few shots of the parents out hunting for bugs for the young.

These are views of the nest. It looks like a mixture of mud, grass and moss. I normally remove old bird nests as I thought that was what you should do. However, I didn't remove this one last year and the birds just came and remodeled this one. Quite interesting. I'm hoping to get some detailed information on nests.
