[cobirds] Two nests with phoebes in Canon City area hatched and being fed

First refound what seems to be a pair of Eastern Phoebes I saw building a nest along the Canon City Riverwalk last month but haven't had time to follow.  However, I believe at least one is a hybrid EasternXBlack Phoebe.  One sang an Eastern Phoebe song and one (presumably the other though not for sure) sang the Black Phoebe dawn song.  Saw them today bringing food to the nest.

This afternoon the pair of Black Phoebes I have been following at my friend's farm began bringing food to their nest.  I got a video that, when watched full screen (which enlarges view), shows the parent reaching down into the nest to feed the hatchling and a little beak then part of a little head reaching up.  I believe it(they) just hatched today.  I have placed this short video clip on my Birds and Nature blog.  More photos and video tomorrow.
