Welcome to the 2013/ 2014 season of Phoebe,the Orange County,CA.. Hummingbird Nest.

Phoebe's usual nesting season is from October to June.. her clutches consist of two eggs almost every six weeks.. Phoebe has 9 nests located in the host's front courtyard in a rose bush .. she will often repair one of them when one batch of chicks gets too big for her to sit on going back and forth to feed them and will have it ready for her next clutch... sometimes she has been known to lay her eggs before the other chicks fledge. Female hummingbirds do not let male hummingbirds near a nest because the male hummingbird's bright colors might alert predators in the nest area..male hummingbirds will also attack a female hummingbird that enters his territory that he has not mated with...after the female mates with him, she will be allowed to roam his territory without too much worry...

This Thread is for the scaps,videos and observations about Phoebe , her eggs and chicks...

We do not use enhanced scaps ...Please limit smileys to three per post..thank you and enjoy.......

As a courtesy to viewers with slower internet connections, please limit the pictures in each post to no more than a total of 150,000 bytes (150KB), and please do not post animations (though it's fine to post a link to them). To avoid horizontal scrolling, please do not post pictures that are more than 500 pixels wide - though it's fine to post a 500-pixel-wide thumbnail that clicks to a much larger picture. The forum attachment software conveniently handles that task - so you can attach larger pictures, and a properly-sized clickable image will appear in your post. The preferred format for pictures is JPEG (.jpg), and three 500-pixel-wide JPEGs should be under the 150KB limit.
