[cayugabirds-l] Phoebes are phast!

This morning my recently completed Phoebe pair (male being back about 2 weeks ago; female last weekend) are a good ways along on a nest. A large mossy mound is on their platform and they are irritatedly flicking when I go past through open garage door. No nest was there yesterday morning!
