Today I saw the last of the young from the phoebe family I have been following flying after insects by itself for awhile. After awhile, a parent bird appeared though I didn't see it feed this young bird which is pictured above. Later I saw a third phoebe, another bird in juvenal plumage, come near to the other two phoebes so I expect it is one of the other young that gained independence but came back here as it is a very good feeding area (and maybe it thought it could get a meal from the parent bird?). This other young bird looked like the photo below which I took yesterday of the second to last fledgling to become independent. SeEtta
