Our backyard phoebe is begging for mealworms like our bluebirds!

This morning, the phoebe collected mud and attached it high on the side of our house to begin a nest!

I should tell our Treasurer to do a direct deposit with my paycheck to PETCO instead of the bank!!!! Supplying mealworms to all these bird families is expensive! BUT SO MUCH FUN!!!!

I hope you have a tone of mealworms available when the blue birds come in or they will feel slighted. I hope bluebirds and black phoebes are compatible. Judy F

Don't you suppose there is a bird hotline and a message about the Queen of the Marsh is on it?

Black phoebes are cute as buttons! Trude, I hope you have more young 'uns in your backyard this spring (keep us posted with photos).

I love black phoebes and love these photos! I know the nest will be a mess, but I hope you will have a family this spring!!
