Flycatcher family

We had a family of flycatchers raised on our porch!  They watched us when we were sitting on the porch or having breakfast.  Frank and Fiona Flycatcher would hang out on branches and chirp at us.  They built their nest out of lichens and mosses up on the top beam of the porch roof.  They finally fledged last weekend.  here are some pics of their family

Here's their nest the first time we noticed it.  There may have been eggs inside, but I didn't want to disturb them to find out.

Mother or father  

Mother and father!

Kind of blurry, but this is the mother flying away after feeding the babies.

Believe it or not, there are five little birds up here.  They are just about to fledge and they've been trying out their wings...to the detriment of their nest.  Some of it is falling apart now.




Below is the mother feeding the babies, one has its mouth open.  They were gone the next weekend.
