I'll post a bad photo most of the time too, unless I get lucky. Rolling on the floor laughing

Eastern Phoebes are nesting in the front porch eaves. They show up every year. It looks like four little chicks in this nest. The Phoebes are normallly quiet, shy birds but the past couple of days I've been hearing quite a ruckus so I went to see what all the commotion was about. Apparently another Phoebe couple wants to take up residence in the nest. But after two days of squabbles, the second pair of Phoebes are making a nest at the back porch. Hilarious! And they must be in a hurry, they're slinging mud everywhere.

So, speaking of lousy photo
Here's one of the Phoebes feeding the newly hatched babes. I don't know if it's mama or papa because they both take turns. So sweet. Lovey dubby They make a nice nest but a bit messy!
