2. Holy cow! That's pretty special.

15-90 beats per second on those wings. Whew! I wonder if the diet changes to trigger some sort of natural instinct to fly out of the nest, or, if it's just a function of size alone. Thanks for the video.

5. Anyone remember Phoebe Allens?

Some people had a camera streaming a hummingbird that nested in their yard for several years. People watched it constantly, living the drama of life and death with them. It was amazing. Phoebe eventually stopped nesting there, I think.

13. Phoebe left the nest one day, as usual, on a food run for the chicks.

She didn't return, and nobody found out what happened to her. The guy (a dentist, as I remember) that owned the house at the time rescued the chicks and brought them to a bird rehab that he had worked with before.

Yeah, I was hooked on the 'hummer-cam', too!

8. I feel special being allowed the privilege to watch your hummingbird raise her babies.

Fascinating and you did a great job of narrating it. Loved the music choices as well.

12. Thank you for this.

I need to replant my red 4 o'clocks, we used to get so many hummingbirds and now those bushes are gone I only rarely see them around my few red zinnias.
