Still 2 eggs and no pip that I can see so it must have been discolouration that we were seeing the other day, Elaine. :-\

I hope we don't have another preemie!

It does look like a pip, Elaine! You may be right! :D But it is a wee bit too soon. According to the website, the 1st egg is due to hatch only on Dec. 10th. But who knows? :-\

It looks to me like there is a pip in one of the eggs.  But today is a bit soon, I think, so maybe it is just a discoloration.

Just saw Phoebe's 2 eggs. If all goes well, I think they're due to hatch around the weekend of December 10th. :)

Phoebe just arrived and planted herself on her two eggs.  It is always such a pleasure to see this industrious little bird!

Hey, I tried to check in on Phoebe this evening and I got a message saying "this account has been suspended". :( Does anyone know anything about this? ??? Is there a different link that I can access? I think she was about to lay her 1st eggs of the new season.

Haven't seen Phoebe yet this season, but I imagine we will see her in short order, just as soon as she chooses a nest. :) Here is the link to the website and webcam, for those of you who are new to Phoebe... http://phoebeallens.com/
