I can't find the nest/quarter comparison but I pulled this from Pheobe's website....
Quote:
Pheobe builds her nests in a rose bush, and the nest is about the size of a golf ball, with eggs being about the size of a tic-tac candy (Egg Pics -- http://gallery.phoebeallens.com/thum...ch&keywords=on).
The season for nesting is October through May/early June, and Phoebe will lay four to five clutches per season. One or two eggs are laid per clutch, they hatch after 17 days, and the chicks typically fly three to four weeks later.

Trying to put this into size perspective I guess that must mean the babies are only a couple of inches long right now... if that.
