Baby Eastern Phoebes

Ok, I know they are not really a part of the Barker Family, but we really have grown quite fond of these little guys.  We first saw the mother bird make the nest on our front porch and didn’t think it looked like a great spot (on top of our outdoor thermometer).  However, she obviously knew better than us.  Her nest of 5 eggs successfully raised 4 beautiful baby birds.  We even got to watch them fly off.  It was really something….maybe someday we will use this as a lesson to teach the kids about “the birds and the bees” (LOL).
