I know how you feel! I don't think Phoebe is coming back to this nest. The Lizard is bothering her.

She may be starting a new one. If you look back at the pictures in the history there, at one time she had TWO nests going at once!

She may also be too old, for eggs. That is what the discussion is saying lately.

The other cam is having Velcro return now and then as well. Maybe she learning how to build a nest, by watching Mom?

The eagle cam is really nice today... an early feeding was like you were right there! Great camera this year and great zooming!

I know how interesting this is. We had a hummer nest outside our bedroom window one summer on vacation. It was too high up and I didn't have my digital camera then. drat! But we watched the mother drive off red squirrels! She would never sit on the nest while we were outside, but we could see her thru a window. We watched the little black beaks, grow longer and finally they fledged. It was quite something back then!
And this is even better! I have quite a file now of stills, I captured and I think I'll do some nest drawings again. I used to do lots of nests ! But never a hummer!
