Phoebe and New Yard Birds

The phoebe is still hanging around. He likes the short fence that separates the two parts of the yard. But he's been too skittish for me to get a good picture. He seems to be using the backyards in my row of houses as his hunting grounds. Hopefully he'll be around for a while.

Yesterday I had a house wren in the yard for the first time. He was only there for around a minute, but at least I know they are in the area. Hopefully I'll see him again. And I actually had a mockingbird in the yard finally. They are all around the area, but this is the first time that I remember one landing on the fences in the back and looking around on the grass in the backyard. Maybe the fountain brought him in (but I didn't see him use it).
