Probably they do nest in our area as well!<br />Having the Eastern Phoebe nesting under the deck is also very special. And since they're insect eaters they might reward you; showing their gratitude...<br />You're quite welcome and yes, the older generation is very grateful towards the USA and their allied forces for liberating the country after WWII.<br />Hugs and a meaningful Memorial Day to you as well.<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-40902320849629816442015-05-24T19:48:56.784-04:002015-05-24T19:48:56.784-04:00Dearest Miyako,
