Great site! Thanks for sharing it. Looks like there's some cracks in the egg closest to the camera.

Yea. I guess the momma left for almost 2 hours and came back. Now she left again almost 30 minutes ago. Everybody on the chat is freaking out!

Phoebe! Isn't she great? She has quite a fan base.

I know that cam well, and was one of the sobbing masses a few weeks ago when her chick Sassy didn't make it. Sassy's brother Storm had passed a few weeks earlier, so when they took Sassy to the rehab, everyone had hoped she would make it, but...

I've got my fingers crossed for these next two little tic-tacs. Hard to believe that nest is the size of golf ball!

There's also another hummingbird, Buzzie. Her babies, Zipper and Velcro, fledged just this afternoon, about three hours ago California time. I was so upset that I missed it. I had gone for my afternoon walk and when I came back, they had fledged. You can see the video of them fledging here:

Ummm, why yes. I get excited when people talk about birds.

Yesterday she chased a lizard away. But he's back--RIGHT NOW--and she's not there. Nature's daytime drama!

I think hummingbirds are my favorite bird. I use to have these visit all the time in california before i moved.
