Amanda, Grace's thought makes sense. Do you (or a neighbor) have suet? Carolina Wrens have been observed more regularly over the past decade or so in the winter. Also, they have a very loud presence. Perhaps you could share a photo?

Are you sure it's a phoebe and not a Carolina Wren? Carolina Wrens often use phoebe nests in the winter.
