[TN-Bird] Juv. Ruby-throat and Juv Phoebe

There is definately at least one juvenile Ruby-throated Hummingbird coming to 
the feeders.  I moved one of the feeders closer to the house to get better 
views.  The bird seems to want to investigate every branch, flower and berry in 
the area and its flight is a bit erratic.
Also, adult Eastern Phoebe and one of its offspring working their way through 
the yard together...the second bird being fed by the first as often as the 
first bird was able to catch anything.  They usually build their nest on the 
house or other outbuildings, but there has been no nesting of phoebes since the 
spring.  With a bit of investigating I found their nest located under the eaves 
of my spring pump house 200' down in a hollow.  What a great spot...cool and 
shaded and close to the trickling little bit of water seeping out of the hills.
