These babies were in a nest above our porch light under the eave of our front entrance last spring. Can you help me indentify them?
Going by the nest style, they look like Eastern Phoebes. Where are you located?
Since you're in Arkansas then they're more then likely Eastern Phoebes, did you ever see the adults??
"Scruffy dark brown bird" sounds a lot like an Eastern Phoebe to me, so I bet that's your bird!
Yep - Featherbrain said it best.
Wow Featherbrain - you're quick with these ID's (and you're always right...)!
