I love how they're just sitting there looking around, then suddenly they start flapping and they're off!
I'm glad they had a successful nest this time. :hummer:

:birdhum: Donna that's exactly what they sound like when they buzz around near you. Sue had one come right up to her one day in the backyard cuz she was wearing a red shirt. They are such fun to watch especially when they divebomb each other. Very cool video Kris, Thanks! :hummer: @ Ei... Now ya see 'em now ya don't! ;D

Sadly, Phoebe has been missing since yesterday, leaving 2 babies in the nest. :'( The nest and chicks have now been removed and transferred to a rehab facility. Another female has been seen around the area so there is speculation there was a territorial fight! Here's a video of the babies being fed by the rehabber.

Oh how sad, poor Phoebe. This is the first I ever heard of a Hummer battle and one lost! I know they can be pretty aggressive but sheesh! Going to be weird not hearing about her anymore. Flutter Free Phoebe! :hummer:

Phoebe's "kids", Ana and Pavan, are being hand-raised by a rehabber since Phoebe's disappearance and have finally fledged! They're being introduced to the outside now each day and will eventually be released.

A Couple Announcements:
The chicks will be released in the yard tomorrow, 2-March. They should be here around noon, then stay in their cage for an hour or 2 to acclimate. They will be released at around 1:30pm or so PST. I will be streaming the whole time at http://phoebeallens.com/. (http://phoebeallens.com/.)
Also, a new female has moved into the yard. Her name is Phoebe Renata Allens. [Must be related and her middle name just happens to mean reborn]
She has been exploring nest locations in the rosebush and will hopefully get building soon. She seems very interested in an old nest I mounted in the bush, but is also looking at the previous site among other locations.

They were released into the same yard that they were hatched from. There's a new Phoebe who's been looking over the nesting situation and a male has been seen too...looks like he didn't like the babies in their territory. Hope they'll be OK.

Posted on Phoebe's FB page:
We're sorry to announce that we will be moving soon and will no longer be streaming Phoebe's webcam. It been a great adventure, and we've enjoyed all the ups and downs. I was hoping to go out with a great season but that was not meant to be. I saw active bird houses in our future yard, so who knows.
I will be shutting down tomorrow morning. Hopefully, withdrawal won't be too severe. Chat will still be available and I can embed a different stream on my page. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Bummer... :(
