Hummingbird webcam

yes, they fledged!! my friend forwarded me a link to a video of the fledging.

scroll down to where you see the video embed. they only fledged minutes apart, and you can see when the first one goes, the second one is keenly watching where s/he went.

Apparently they've both been safely spotted in a nearby yucca tree.

the nest is empty, but a good empty not like the Hornby Island one

Thanks for the video link, Badger! Amazing how easy it is to become attached to a baby bird.

one fledged!!

both fledged!! http://s4.zetaboards.com/Birds_of_a_...pic/8574794/1/

I guess one of them fledged twice before and came back, so you never know!!

[badger]

it hasn't even been a week and she's already laid an egg!! yeesh, poor little baby machine!

Oh cool! We've been enjoying a hummingbird next right at eye level in our yard, too. I don't have the skills to do the webcam thing tho!

Thanks for the link Badger. Cool. And yes, a much happier empty nest outcome than Hornby Island.

if you go to the hummingbird webcam site, they have it focused on another nest, apparently she was seen tending to the nest and another clutch can be expected soon! she's a baby-cranking mama!

[PamNY]

Gosh, you are right! She's almost finished that nest! I glanced at the chat and apparently another bird stole some material from her nest.

I'm not sure if I can handle online eagles and hummingbirds and along with three real-life hawk nests.

Phoebe laid an egg this morning.

[badger]

the camera angle is *just* out of sight of the nest so it's hard to see whether there's one or not. she was wiggling around this morning a lot so I was joking to my co-worker that she's probably cranking one out. Maybe I was right!

Yep, there are eggs in the nest.
