How long does it take for little Eastern Pheobes to fledge? I have no idea, but I’d assume a month? More? So, imagine my shock when I crept near the nest this morning to check on them (cozied up and way too big for their home) and ALL FIVE flew off in a frenzy around my face! The last one out was pretty shaky. I cannot believe I gave them the push out of that nest. Flanneryis going to be mad. at. me. Because I didn’t have my camera.

Here they are 2 days ago. Yes, look at them. I shouldn't have been surprised.
