Hi Bev & Phoebe,
Just a quick note from work Great scaps for the gorget, I love Phoebe's little rust coloured feathers on her petticoats My Phoebe you sure are a stomper What a hard worker she will need the rest when those eggs arrive. Thanks for the weather Bev, my it gets cold there at night. If I could knit I would make a blanket
Hummer hugs
Now I'm back to work
Gail

Hi Gail and all Phoebe Friends.. Exciting News...

Tuesday .. Nov. 8, 2011.

Update by Pungh from Facebook

Phoebe Allens Hummingbird Webcam
Phoebe has begun nest construction. Actually, she's working on TWO nests. For a few days she's been inspecting and landing on last season's nests several times a day. This morning, she zipped in and worked on a nest. Then she zipped in and worked on another. Then the other. She did that a half dozen times before I had to leave. Hopefully, she'll make up her mind soon so I'll know where to put the camera.

I will keep checking for further updates ...
