Eastern Phoebe

Mr. Eastern Phoebe is back to singing daily out back of our house. Phoebes have nested on or under our back porch ever since we moved into this house in 1981. The back porch has changed; an addition with a different porch built; and I'm sure the Phoebes have changed as well - but there's never been a year without a nest. The surest signal that Spring is on its way is the sound of Mr. Phoebe shouting his name back there. 

It was a bit cool this morning - he's puffed up. And sitting on the top of a ladder The Husband left standing outside the garage.
