FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Ustream/Video screen capture
Is there a more ephemeral bird than the hummingbird? Like buzzing avian fairies darting with purpose from one bloom to the next, they pass by in a blur, never seeming to rest. Whoosh, they’re gone.
But to the delight of armchair birdwatchers everywhere, Joe and Erica Dellwo sat up a webcam in their Southern California garden in 2007 to chronicle the comings and goings of Phoebe, a non-migratory Channel Islands Allen’s Hummingbird. Each year she (or one of her iridescent doppelgängers) returns for a new season of hummingbird antics.
Built in a rose bush, the nest is about the size of a golf ball, with eggs the size of Tic-Tacs. Which makes sense given that the average hummingbird weighs one-tenth of a tiny ounce. The season for nesting is October through May/June. Phoebe usually lays four to five clutches per season, with two eggs per clutch.
The wee birds hatch after 17 days, and generally learn to fly within three or four weeks. When the chicks have flown the coop, so to speak, resourceful Phoebe sometimes builds a new nest, but frequently repairs the old one, and then gets to work on a new clutch. A hummingbird’s work is never done…
Watch mom and the kids here.
