Empty Nest Syndrome - the REAL kind

[LauraB]

So the little Phoebe's decided to come back this summer and nest just inches outside a back door atop a light fixture and over concrete - last year they made their first nest, but their 3 hatchlings all died - one falling and two consumed (after death?) by fire ants. I accidently broke the fixture globe last year when I was cleaning up the aftermath.

This year I paid attention and rigged a "safety net" (yeah, it's goofy).
But all 5 hatchlings survived and have now joined their parents ... but man, do they make a mess! Yuk!
