STOPS ALONG THE WAY

EASTERN PHOEBE

19 Comments

We stopped by a wildlife garden recently and were told that a hummingbird was in the area. While waiting for it to appear (never saw it) I saw this phoebe and took several shots.  I was also told the phoebe had a nest nearby (which I never spotted), so I imagine the caterpillar was for its chicks.

    Nice catch, Belinda! One to the first migrants to arrive in spring, eastern phoebes are a favorite. There is a pair that nests on a ledge in one of our sheds. I think they are on brood #2!

    Beautiful image of it, Belinda! Maybe you’ll find the nest and see the chicks? Fingers crossed.
