I know I have nests but they are way up in the Leyland Cypress and well hidden, so I really appreciate this photo!

Thanks!!

I've been watching a cam, too. Is it this one?

Yes. Phoebe! Are the babies fledged out yet?

They were both still there late this afternoon.

They are so fun to watch. Had a nest with two babies in it outside my office. I watched and took pics of them just as you did from the time momma started to laying the eggs til the day that they flew away. Boy they grow fast. Before you know the nest will be nothing but babies. No room to move around in. Enjoy watchint them grow.
