needrain said: True about the birds, but I like them anyway. You can add Barn Swallows to the list. The listed birds are all insect eaters and there are never enough of those birds. The swallows while raising a family, though, can eat mosquitos nearly as fast they hatch. There is a noticeable difference in the numbers of mosquitos after the babies fledge and leave the nest compared to when they are being fed in the nest. I haven't had phoebes since the cold spell in February a couple of years ago.
