Allen's Hummingbirds - California / Phoebe

Pheobe is such a busy little lady!

[Kinderchick]

The first of Phoebe's 2 chicks hatched on March 1st. It's name is "Fleur". I imagine the other chick should be hatching any time now, although it does seem like a long time between hatches. Hope it's okay.

Phoebe laid her 2nd egg early this morning. Incubation of the eggs has now begun!

Phoebe laid the 1st egg of her 2nd clutch of the season this morning.

Sandy fledged yesterday morning & Faith fledged this afternoon. But I see they have both returned to their nest again!

[Kinderchick]

Yes! Very good news about the 2 hatches!

Sandy (named in honour of victims of Hurricane Sandy and of Sandy Hook) hatched pre-dawn yesterday and Faith hatched pre-dawn today

[Kinderchick]

Phoebe laid her 2nd egg Thursday morning!

[Kinderchick]

Yes! Very egg-citing news! Shouldn't be long till the 2nd egg is laid!

Phoebe laid her first egg this morning!   

[Kinderchick]

Webcam is now focused on the nest that Phoebe has chosen. Apparently, she is putting the finishing touches on this particular nest. There is a prediction by the chat members that she may begin laying her eggs sometime this weekend.

[Kinderchick]

Won't be long now!

Webcam's live

It's not focussed on a nest yet, but if we're lucky, we can see Phoebe darting about the rosebush, making decisions about where to set up housekeeping for her first clutch.

The Phoebe season has begun

[Kinderchick]

Apparently, Phoebe was spotted testing out a few branches in Mr. P's yard about a week ago, but no nesting activity so the webcam is not yet back on. Shouldn't be long now, though.

Looks as if Opal fledged this morning. They are both gone now. Website reports that the cam will be moved so that viewers can observed Phoebe feeding them.
