Sad update:
The owner of the hummingbird cam has posted today, that
the chick, Sassy, will be removed and taken to a rehab to get
more nutrition and care.
Phoebe sat on the chick all day yesterday, and has cut back on feeding frequency... so sometime today, the chick will be moved.
This will free Phoebe up for another breeding cycle, also.
Observers think Sassy is exhausting Phoebe, who is not young anymore herself.
edit.... Sassy has been removed, and the cam is showing an empty nest. I don't know if Phoebe will return to this one or build another.
I'll post on this thread any further news.
