My porch bird, which heretofore I thought was an Eastern Wood PeWee, laid 5 eggs on Apr. 16-17. Now Im more confused than ever. My bird book sez the Eastern Wood PeWee lays 3 or 4 creamy-white spotted eggs. My bird laid 5 very light pink, spotless eggs, looking like those candy-covered almonds. maybe they could be described as creamy white , but no spots. The Eastern Phoebe lays "3-8 white eggs, sometimes faintly spotted with brown". when the mother flew away just now, I thought i saw yellow underneath. Maybe there's more than 1 mother?

I'm now about 80% my bird is Eastern Wood PeWee, 20% that its the Eastern Phoebe. I wonder how long they live? this bird (if its the same every year) has made a nest for at least 8 years.

@missy: probably the mother has returned, you just havent seen her. The nest on my porch looks just like the nest in birds-nest soup. About the size of a hardball, but the inside is probably smaller than a billiard ball. the chicks after a few weeks are too big for the nest and sit on top.

@Carla, same here. I have a small fly-catcher, gray and white w/dark crown on my front porch . has had 2 broods of 4 chicks per year. i always thought it was an Eastern Kingbird,now Im not so sure... looks as much as the Eastern Wood Pewee. I suspect you and i are talking about the same species. I'm in East Texas, halfway between Dallas and Houston.

your description sounds like an eastern phoebe

does anyone out there have a picture of a nest for a Eastern Wood- Peewee? I have a nest under my patio eave with two live babies, we havent seen the mother since yesterday and are concerned about what to do we dont know the regular habits of this species...thank you

From everything I read about the Eastern Wood-Pewee it is a forest breeder and nests in the mid-canopy. However, there is a bird that looks like every picture I have seen of this bird and she comes back to the ledge of the roof of my front porch to build her nest. Also, she has raised as many as three broods of four babies, most years only two. Is this actually the bird I think it is or have I mis-identified her? I'd really love to know just what she is. She's welcome to stay but I'd like to know what species she is. I live in North Central Alabama if that helps with your answer.
