Thanks, Freddie! Bless their little hearts! I was sure they'd be gone - just checked the cam - and after a bit more practice, it looks like they squished back into the nest for a little nap! :7val:

Added: Just read on chat, from "Bella" ...as soon as this nest fledges, she has another nest for us to watch; this one is in her front yard, the other nest is in her back yard!
(Can you even imagine! I would get LESS done, if possible! :teehee:

The little chicks fledged this morning! #1 at 8:11am PST

#2, approx. 1 hour later, I saw #2 fledge :flirty:

Before fledge, the little cutie-pie watched his sibling, took a quick nap, had breakfast, a little wingercising and then - poof!

Video of #2 should be available soon.

The other nest in Bella's yard will be online soon!

explore.org reported that Beloved Mama Bella died earlier this week. :sorrow:

Bella's two chicks, Dahlia and Poppy, have been taken to a local wildlife rehabilitation center where they will receive the best possible care.
Here is a tribute video:

Bella is alive!! From FB:

Our beautiful sweet Bella is alive!!!!!! Yesterday I noticed a female refurbishing Holly & Noel's old nest. So, today I put the camera on it. Soon thereafter the female came back to the nest. Much to my surprise it is, without a doubt, our beautiful BELLA!! She has a few battle wounds (on her side and near her tail), but she is alive!!! I'm thinking we may need to rename her "Zena, Warrior Princess". She is truly amazing!! She was clearly too seriously wounded to care for her babies. She took the time she needed to heal and she is BACK!! I could not be happier!! I have been crying happy tears ever since I saw her.

Edit to add: I do not think there are any plans to re-unite Bella and her chicks.

A female hummingbird visiting both my feeder and the abundant hosta blooms.
Frank referred to it as taking a shot and a chaser! :loveshow:
