Hummingbird Chick Hatching - January 18, 2011

In the video, the chick has already formed a pip in the egg. It is hidden, pressed against the closest egg to the left. With sun shining on the egg, you can see our valiant hero struggling inside the shell to widen the hole it has started. You can see the hole crack open at about the 2:00 minute mark and the crack spreading around to the far side until Phoebe returns. She sits protectively on the egg for 15 minutes before revealing the hatched chick at about 3:30.

@Pungh0li0 what a beautiful video. You may want to take a look at my videos of a hummingbird landing on my nose and one landing on my lower lip. I am very careful not to hurt them. Thanks again for this beautiful video.

I saw the pip puncture as it happened yesterday! And it was amazing seeing into the shell due to its translucence. I see the second egg is thinning now as well. Thanks for allowing us into Phoebe's home!
