Phoebe The Hummingbird
Phoebe The Hummingbird -Live Nest Cam
This is a live feed of a wild female channel island hummingbird named Phoebe. Her nest is located in a rose bush and is no larger than the size of a golf ball. Phoebe's nest is made from feathers, leaves and other parts of plant matter. She then wraps this material together with spider webs. The eggs she lays are about the size of a breath mint(tic-tac). Phoebe lays 1 or 2 eggs per clutch. You can expect to see them hatch after about 17 days from the date they are laid. The chicks will continue to grow in the nest for about three to four weeks before fledging. She has been laying 4 to 5 clutches each year for several years. For more information about Phoebe's hatches, camera set-up and more check out phoebeallens.com.
