Re: Eastern Phoebe



I'm following up on this post from April with a couple of questions.  The
second set of hatchlings flew the coop this week.  I don't think I've
noticed two sets of young in one year before.  Thus my first question.  What
are the breeding habits of the eastern phoebe?  Should I expect any further
mating activity this year?  The reason I ask is that we plan to have the
house painted this Summer or very early Fall and do not want to disrupt
their nest; this leads to the next question.  When it is 'safe' to paint,
how should we temporarily remove the nest while painters are in that area?
Thanks.
