"Our" phoebe greeted me on my return from SFO this afternoon with a bright "chip" and a busy swooping about to pick up cluster flies. I'm sure that of all the birds nesting and being raised in our bank barn, some return to the very same place each spring. But never more than a few, and then they spread out around the neighborhood. I find it comforting, especially the way they pick the same nesting spot, and the same perch on an old wire strung between the outbuildings.
