The phoebe juveniles have not been returning to the garage during the first week after leaving the nest as all the past clutches have, so I was getting worried.  Today I saw the 5 juveniles all lined up on our backyard fence wire looking to be fed by the parents.  Whew, I was getting worried about them!

The hummingbird pair seem to have divided our yard in half.  The female has the front yard, and the male has the backyard.  Anytime the boundaries are crossed, a noisy squeaking fight erupts.  They are very territorial.
