Allen's Hummingbirds - California / Phoebe
Pam:
They are amazing. I saw part of the lizard attack so recently - it's hard to believe that Phoebe could have laid more eggs and lost them to a crow so soon!!

Yes, Ellie! :'( I have been out of town visiting a friend and we just stepped away from the webcam to have lunch... We were so excited about the 2 new eggs! Then, when we returned, they were gone, apparently snatched and eaten by a crow! :'( We are so very sad about this! :'(
No wonder the little hummers need to lay eggs every month!!! :'( :'( :'(
Pam:
Oh my, this is not good news! The perils of live cams......an amazing privilege, but makes us see/know things we would otherwise have no clue about!

I have just recently started watching this Hummingbird webcab, while waiting for Trey to return to Winnipeg. Another 2 eggs were laid in the past few days! :D One was laid early in the morning on March 29th and another early this morning...WOW! I did not know Hummingbirds were so prolific! :o From reading past posts, it seems that eggs have been laid every month since January, although none of the birds have survived... Sure do hope these 2 eggs have a chance.
