Phoebe's last nest had one chick survive (the other was injured when she disposed of the hatched egg shells and did not survive).

This chick fledged and was named Scout. He is a little male.

Here is a video of him asking Phoebe to feed him and perhaps mate with him or whatever. He is persistent and pokes at her quite a bit.

We haven't seen video quite like this before on any of the other nests that have had cams on the internet. So I am putting it up for its interest value. Phoebe is incubating 2 new eggs right now, and is sitting on them in this video.
