I live NW of Columbus, in Plain City, and our Phoebes had returned for the third year straight and had finished building their nest under our garden shed roof. They too disappeared when the freeze came, but their back this weekend and looks like they're settling in to nest. I was getting worried also, I believe they may go deep into the woods perhaps to search for insects in the tree bark. Anyway, I'm glad they're back.
