Though I wasn't able to get any video or photos of the phoebe fledglings on the morning after they had fledged, I did get these less than desired photos of the parent birds as they would fly near enough for a pic when getting food for their young. The top pic shows an apparent Black Phoebe (however, with so many phoebes of intermediate plumage in this area there is always some uncertainty) with some food in it's bill for the fledglings.
The bottom pic is of a phoebe I believe to be a Black X Eastern hybrid. This is the phoebe I saw that had a very brown streak on it's forehead and it is likely a bird I saw this spring near the nest area. SeEtta
