Bird Watching: I have a phoebe nest!, 1 by DrDoolotz

An Eastern phoebe has been building a nest by my front door for some time. Initially, I thought she would not be able to make it "stick" to the wall. It is in the corner where 2 walls meet, just above the front door. I don't use the front door much because I go in through the garage. I have seen pictures of their nests and they usually seem to have a ledge or something underneath. For a long time, she just made a mess of the wall and the step below. Then there was sort of a lump of mud and moss that stuck to the wall. Over time, the nest has taken shape and now she seems to be finished. She was sitting on it this morning but there are no eggs yet. She is a pretty messy nest builder but I will be excited to see the progress of the family that she will hopefully raise in it!
