[EBB Sightings] Young yard birds

Yesterday a Chestnut-backed Chickadee brought two kids to the feeder.

I also saw a Black Phoebe in the yard (sometimes I hear one, but I don't 
usually see it in the yard). Today, it landed in the small tree next to 
the feeder, and had brought a young one which was on a different branch. 
The young one was lighter and was a little streaky on the breast. It was 
calling a lot, but not begging with wings fluttering. It sometimes flew 
away from the adult. The adult flew to a tree in the back, and the young 
one flew from wherever it was to join it, perching right next to it. 
That may be only the second time I've seen two Phoebes together.

The other day at Kelly and Center over the produce market, a few 
White-throated Swifts were flying around.
