Baby Birds May 7, 2013

When I saw these babies sitting on the edge of their nest over our front porch light,
I knew they were ready to fly.
I had time for only a few photos before they were gone!

Three of them made it safely to the trees on their first try.
This one landed on the porch, then on the ground before it reached the safety of the trees.
I think these are Eastern Phoebes, Sayornis phoebe, but I am not sure.

Have a Wonderful Day!

  8. I'm glad they are there and not at our house. With 8 or so barn and porch cats, they would be in trouble.

  15. You just have to love the babies. I have some with needy, gaping open mouths. I am not sure how their Mom can keep up.

  16. What a neat thing to find on your porch! I've been out tramping in the woods and fields looking for nests. I think I'll check around the house more closely!
    Great photos of the young ones!

  17. We keep forgetting to remove a nest in our garage..as a result there are baby birds every spring and we can't close the garage doors but they are sweet to hear chirp.
