Phoebe on the nest.

If you're still with me after yesterday's post, here's mom (or is it dad?) sitting on the nest. Both adults look identical, at least to my eye. I'll research any visual distinctions and let you know what I find out when I post another of an adult "off nest".

oh so sweet, she has her feathers crossed that you mean no harm

[Beryl Lloyd]

Such a precious capture !

[Rob Crosby]

@kali66 @beryl Thanks, both! And for you, Kali, a question:
About the feathers being crossed meaning no harm. Is this a "folk legend"?
True or not, I like it, and hadn't encountered the saying before.

How sweet!

[Faye Turner]

Thank you for your wonderful comments on my dandelion picture! I used my Nikon 105 macro lens for this shot! Really loving this lens!

Thanks, All!

[Valerie Chesney]

Oh Rob, such a lovely bird, so good to have a shot of her on the nest. Super.

[kali]

@rob257 haha no I just imagined how she felt, torn between fear of the intruder and wanting to stay put for her babies, the angst state in between fight and flight perhaps

[Denise Wood]

Such a sweet bird! Looks a bit like our fantail bird here in Australia. Thanks for showing it :)

[Kerry McCarthy]

I just caught up on the egg saga. Hope the eggs hatch successfully! Nice shot.
