Black Phoebes |
This mud nest was built under an overhang on a cabin roof. The phoebes were in it for weeks and fledged around the beginning of June. |
The mud nest made by a black phoebe. |
Several young black phoebes in their nest. Many scats accumulated below the nest and I also found a pellet composed of compacted insect parts. |
Both phoebe parents were around and both were bringing food to the nest. This one has something in its beak. Perhaps an insect to feed the youngsters. |

of insects can be seen in this pellet. Remains of
insect carapaces are visible. |
