Eastern Phoebe & babies

This year we were blessed with a Eastern Phoebe nest on our front porch. We watched as Mom sat on the nest and finally four babies were born. Then we watched the parents continually catch bugs all day long and bring them back to the nest for the young-ins. They finally left the nest yesterday.

I was hoping that they stick around and eat all of the mosquitoes, but I haven't seen them since.
