🐦 Beautiful Bird Eastern Phoebe 🐦

I was able to get pictures of another beautiful mama bird while on the way to feed her little ones in the nest.  This bird is the Eastern Phoebe.  She has one of the prettiest songs you'll ever hear.  In a few of the pics, you can even see the food in her mouth.  I was able to count at least 3 little ones in the nest.

The "P" song drove my hubby crazy until he bought a tape of bird calls.   YEA

@cheriere 

 

Wanted to post to let you know I appreciate all the beautiful pics with descriptions you post. It would be nice to walk through nature like you can. Keep posting I'm looking at your posts just not replying. Love the pics. I want some of those strawberries.

DH ran to the store. I told him to pick up some organic strawberries, red grapes   & watermelon.

Also wanted to tell you the story of the Woodpeckers around here. One that had been working on the hole showed up when 2 little birds were inside? I heard wings fluttering to look up & see 1 bird fly out while the other got caught inside. The woodpecker pecked a few times but wasn't leaving. I bet that litte bird was scared. After about 30 mins I got up picked up a little rock so I could throw it up the tree. LOL!!! When I did that the woodpecker took off & the little bird flew out. I looked up at the little bird & said I saved you. Poor little bird.

Great photos!  You're quite the photographer, @cheriere .  Our son gets Phoebes on his porch.  He lives in a forested area in Southern Illinois.  

Our three little robins have flown the nest, I wish them well and hope they flourish out in the big world.

@Nightowlz Woodpeckers can be such a nuisance.  Last week our neighbor had to replace his outdoor security cameras because of woodpeckers pecking holes in them, and the action all caught live. 

Me, I am just annoyed they keep draining my hummingbird feeders. 

Loves your story.
