I'm in central pa. I've got a pair nesting on the side of my house. I love just sitting on the porch watching these little guys constantly hunting for bugs. They are on their second brood any day now they should hatch.
It's the best entertainment you can get for free, right? I will say the 16 days I spend peering at the developing bird family is always (I've done it twice now) a significant experience.
Phoebes return to the same downspout on our house each year. We are waiting until their second clutch of eggs hatch and fly away before we work on our gutters.
thank you for making this video, it was exactly what we were looking for! You're awesome!! We've been watching an Eastern Phoebe building her nest for weeks but she kept changing locations. Finally she found the right spot and she's sitting on her eggs - haven't gone to check it out yet but my toddler and I appreciate learning more about them! Thank you
Ahhh! This is what is building a nest outside my kitchen window. Actually they started NINE nests in different corners of the eaves of the porch. Finally settled on one and almost done!
I have my first nest too and have 4 hatchlings. I’ve discovered that they are devout parents. I can no longer water my plants (temporarily) on my porch because they are super protective lol.
They are protected under the Federal Migratory Bird Act which means destroying them, their nests or their young is against the law. If you wish to know the benefit of them to humans, they are in the flycatcher family. They eat insects and feed their young insects ranging from moths and butterflies, cicadas, wasps and other winged insects. Sometimes they eat spiders and ticks, often by hovering near a branch and gleaning the bugs there. They usually have two broods a year.

We have a phoebe nest in the breezeway! 4 eggs confirmed right now, very informational for us to co exist with these little guys

I love Phoebes. Got some in my apartment complex.
Every time I mow my pasture after cow move, I have one who follows me to feed as insects take to the air. They hear a mower and come flying!
In the summer, the pair at my house will pick ticks off of deer and the deer dont mind at all.

We have a nesting couple!!!!❤

This bird is the bane of my existence. Any tips on how to get rid of them?
