There are many Black Phoebes around this year and they have hatched the babies. They made a mud and straw nest under the eaves behind the garage much like swallows. I think they eat mostly bugs and the adults fly around the barn and then to the fence and feed the waiting little ones. The parents are very protective and fly at us when we come out the front door. They also chase off the Scrub Jays which is quite brave!
The babies line up on the fence and wait...the parents make trip after trip to those open mouths.
