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. :-\

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

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. :D

Webcam's live ;D

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 :)

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. :D

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.
