["Linda" <likebird@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Birders,
Here in Warner Valley I had the pleasure of watching a mother Phoebe line her 
three babies on a limb about 12' off the ground this morning in my back yard.  
They were sitting very close together and fully feathered-little copies of 
their mom.  She then dashed away and began fly catching and feeding her bird 
babies.  I must say the feeding is done very quickly and  if you blinked you 
would miss it!  This went on for a few hours and I had to leave so I did not 
see them head for home.  I have no idea where the nest is located.  I must have 
about eight Phoebes flying around all day long.
I also have three Chickadee babies in my blue bird box.  The mother took two of 
them out this afternoon for a flying lesson.  The Blue Birds keep looking into 
the box as if to say, hurry up and fledge!
