Last evening I was surprised to find a Black Phoebe parent bird with at least 2 fledglings in tow across the Arkansas River from the Canon City Riverwalk a few hundred yards west of the Sell's parking lot. I had checked the usual nesting site in this area earlier this year but apparently they had a late nesting and I didn't re-check. I returned this morning and refound them not far from where I had last seen them last evening. I also found a Black Phoebe in juvenal plumage not far from the family and it was apparently now independent --I followed it a few hundred yards as it made it's way on it's own up river. I got some nice photos of the young birds that I have uploaded to my Birds and Nature blog<http://birdsandnature.blogspot.com/>.
