Eastern Phoebe Nest Visits Room 409!

Nathaniel and the nest

Nathaniel in Ms. Stewart's class recently shared an Eastern Phoebe nest with us. Given to him by his grandparents who found the nest in Massachusetts, Nathaniel explained that this was the third nest built by the Phoebes. His grandparents compiled excellent scientific research on the Phoebes, recording each of their broods and taking photos of each of the three nests. Young fledged the first and second nests, but because the third nest was built late in the season, the eggs were unable to hatch. So Nathaniel's grandparents carefully packed it up and included data and photos about the Phoebes, which Nathaniel generously shared with his class during science. Thanks Nathaniel!
