I was away on business and just now stopped by to hear about Clover. I enjoyed hanging with everyone during this time and hope we can do this again - without the fierceness of nature. R.I.P. Crimson.
I am sad for Alik who seems to love the hummingbirds so much and I will always respect Nature and the good and not-so-good things that occur. Emerald has been a wonderful momma and three of her offspring are adding to the hummingbird population, thankfully. Bless all involved.
So happy to see little Clover being fed by Emerald. This is such a bittersweet story. So happy to have watched from the laying of each little egg, to the hatching, first feedings, Crimson and Clover growing day by day, so close to fledging when Crimson was lost, the rescue of Clover and continued hopes for the best. Alik you are a hummingbird hero. Steve's watchful eyes alerting you to Clover's need for help..... thanks to all who made this video possible. I needed to see the happy ending. Cheers to all the Hummingbird Spot watchers. Amazing how hundreds of us shared this special internet community and experience. Fly free little Clover we are all rooting for you : )
In tears 🥺 thank you for this video. Clover is a miracle.. his name brings him good luck tho lol 🍀 RIP Crimson you were so beautiful its so sad this happens in nature. We will remember you 🙏🏼🕊
so glad im a big strong man that doesnt cry over silly things like birds... seem to have something wrong with my eyes... they are leaking fluid, better call the doctor
When I found out Crimson's fate, I was traumatized and had to reconcile myself thinking this is nature at its cruelest but nevertheless real. Happy to hear that little Clover is doing well and Emerald was a strong defender to see her baby through. Thank you so much to Carole @Hummingbird Spot and Alik for providing us with this update. Your work and dedication is amazing!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for putting this together! I cried, again, but I am SO happy to see little Clover is doing well and that Emerald is still taking care of the little one. Thank you to everyone who cared for them!
Here I am on the other side of the world crying of sadness, gratitude and joy... To Crimson: Rest In Peace! To Clover: Goodbye and have the best hummie life out there! To Emerald: You're the best mom EVER! Caring, courageous, faithful, sweet and determined. Wishing you a long life with lots of other succesful clutches! To Alik, Carole, Steve, Wolf, Ivy, Ginger, Suzie and everyone else involved: THANK YOU so much for everything and this beautiful video! Sending Love from Holland!
Thank you a lot for the opportunity to observe the life of such tiny birds while being thousands of kilometers away. I only managed to watch the last two days. And I was upset by the death of the chick. But now I'm glad that the second was able to leave the nest and everything is fine with him.
This legit made me cry. I was so sad when Crimson was taken. I was about to quit watching then, but I am glad I finished the whole video. Even when Nature is cruel, animals will still find a way to survive. Clovers emergency fledged was so uplifting. And thanks to you and Alik for being a part of the story. You were meant to be there.
I am sobbing watching this. I haven’t been on in a while. Breaks my heart. Poor lil babies. But I’m so happy Emerald & Clover are safe 🙏 Thank you for ALL you guys do for these magical, beautiful blessings ♥️
Thank you for putting this together. Today I was crying and I have been depressed about the way things happened and it is good to know that Clover is alright now. RIP little Crimson and wishing you all the best little Clover and magnificent mom Emerald. I miss you terribly but you were a joy to watch.
Amazing hugs and applause to the caring humans around this nest, as well as to Emerald and Clover. ❤️ I am tearing up as a mother myself-this world is such a mix of joy and challenge.
I had the privilege of watching the live feed of Clover and Crimson grow over a couple of weeks. It's bitter-sweet how it ended, but this video does an excellent job of summarizing their precious lives! ❤️
Oh my. I am in tears, so moved by this beautiful video. It is very sad, but also has a happy ending and Emmi is a remarkable mommy. Bless all who were part of the efforts to help those wonderful creatures and keeping this nice community updated. Carole and Alik, you got a big fan here 💕, thank you.
Thanks so much for the transparency of this video. I think it's very important to highlight the path of nature, even when it turns against our hopes. While I love hummingbirds, they are complex; it was very interesting to see the other female threaten little Clover. I'm glad the whole story was addressed, and it's nice to see it had a bit of a happy ending.
Carole and Alik you are wonderful human beings! I have truly enjoyed watching this little hummingbird family. You two are such blessings! Thank you for caring and protecting these precious little birds. So happy to see Clover is doing well! Emerald is such a good mom
Thank you so much Carole and Alik for all of your time and effort and vigilance in this situation. The pictures are a relief. I will donate to the channel shortly as this is more work than most realize. I hope we get to see Emerald have another clutch again. Even though that other bird took over their nest.
Thanks for posting this video! I'm happy to see Clover is doing so well. Good thing your team was around for them. ❤️🍀 And thanks to all of you for answering so many questions from me!
My students and I watched these dear babies a couple of minutes a day as our transition. We were also watching two baby eagle eggs. The eagle eggs ended up not hatching. They were so excited about these babies. We spent a whole day learning about hummingbirds in each subject I taught, that day. Last week, we had to focus on state testing review and we did not check in. I came to see how big they were tonight to get ready for tomorrow and came across this sad sad post. I cannot share. I cannot even imagine telling them. When they ask, I will tell them. We have been online all year. They grew quite attached to those two. I could not watch the end. I just decided I do not want to know. Thank you, for sharing these birds and teaching my online students that nature can be found anywhere.
Oh my gosh - I cried happy tears at the end of this! I am so relieved to see that baby Clover is doing well and that Emerald is taking care of her. Thank you so much for the loving tribute to our little friends.
Thank you for the update. I'm heartbroken. But glad for the happy ending for Clover and Emerald. And a huge thank you to Alik! That was an amazing journey! Thank you for sharing it!
I watched Emeralds first clutch this year but not the second. Nature can be so cruel 😢. I am thankful for all that you guys do for these small but mighty birds and I'm glad there was a happy ending 🥰
Thank you for sharing the story - especially the final pictures. I was one who was in shock seeing it play out live, and it eases my heart knowing that Clover and Emerald are well. I live in the area so I always hope when I see Hummers at my feeders that I'm helping them out too. It'll be interesting to see if Alik chooses to put the camera on the nest should the invading female decide to take it over. Emerald has been such a good momma that I hope she finds another spot nearby to build another nest safely away from the Kestral. I don't blame it, they also need to eat and feed themselves and their babies, but it did hurt to see it happen. Thanks to Alik for coming to Clover's rescue.
Oh it makes me cry. I can’t imagine how painful it was to see it in real time. I’m so glad little Clover is doing so well. I didn’t realize poor little Clover went through so much.so glad Alik was so protective
Oh thank goodness Clover made it! Thank you for providing this update. After reading the title I was a bit worried, since I have been keeping watch over the past few weeks these two grow. Thank you for allowing us to witness nature's miracles, but at the same time life's challenges in the nature. We are all cheering for Clover and hope she/he lives a good life. Here's to Emerald! Such a good mama you are :)
Thank you for this story. I saw this all when it was happening. it was so sad. I'm thankful that little Clover is safe. Thank you, Alik, for saving her life!
Thank you so much for this update Carole and for the photos of little Clover being cared for by Emerald after she left the nest. Tears, but also joy. And thank you Alik. 😘🥀🍀
Good luck Clover, may you have a long and healthy life. And many thanks to all you amazing people that have helped to keep this beautiful mother and baby safe.
Thank You for sharing I had no idea until I watched the whole stream that another bird attacked the next,. I am sooo sad. This is the first time I watched a video from the beginning of eggs to the hatching and growing. Life can be soooo cruel. Little Crimson is in hummingbird heaven. May clover have many babies to carry on the hummingbird legacy. Thank You I will continue to watch.
I wasn't ready to cry for poor Crimson again so soon. 😭 A touching video. Very grateful for the update on Clover-- may (s)he grow up to be as strong and beautiful as our Emerald. It's communities of nature lovers like this one that remind me that there are still some good people on this planet. I hope we will be able to enjoy another nest cam together again in the not-too-distant future!
I'm so grateful to have been able to watch these little birds the past few weeks. Thank you Carole and Alik and all of the chat mods for all your hard work! And cheers to all my fellow hummer lovers :)
Thank you for posting this video. When I came back to see how they were doing the live was gone. Sad to see Crimson gone, yet happy to see that Clover is a survivor.
Thanks for the video God bless Emerald and Clover. Rest in peace Crimpson, now fly with God in Heaven .... Carol and Alik, thank you for giving us the privilege of knowing more about the life of hummingbirds
I thought I was over it but I cried all over again. Happy tears for Clover. Good luck baby Clover. It was wonderful spending the last month watching you grow up. Also, Alike and Carole are amazing people. Also the moderators of the chat.
Carole, Alik, other admins, and the Dr. w/the hummingbird rescue who consulted w/Carole, thank you for all you did for Em and her clutches, and thank you for this video. I am so grateful to get to see little Clover still being fed by Mom, even tho Clover is out of the nest. What a relief. Thank you!!
Thank you for this update video. Well wishes for a wonderful life Clover and Emerald. RIP Little Crimson. Thank you for caring about these little ones.
Thank you Carole for your update & additional pics of Clover. Seeing her there with Emerald is all we could have hoped for. I wish her and Emerald good luck. 💚
Thank you so much for making a video of all the happenings! I will always remember being the first to post the first egg to hatch and would visit day and night, I absolutely fell in love with all three. I also was on at the fateful moment when we all lost Crimson. I cried and cried. I saw both go. Then I came back later to say good bye to all the friends I had made. I then found out Alik had saved Clover! I cried again but was guarded. So I said goodnight to Emmy and Clover. Being very fearful I checked in the next morning right as Emmy was feeding Clover. Again tears of joy filled my eyes. Many know I’m a teacher of special needs kids and used the live cams when I could. Well I came back and this time nest was empty again. ( Guess what went through my mind) Fighting through the returning tears I typed a question and when someone told me to watch Alik ( they didn’t say what was going to happen) and this big guy came into view and was about to catch Clover and she shot off the nest, I am surprised I didn’t scare the neighbors then to hear Emmy was feeding Clover in the tree nearby. Talk about a rollercoaster! Those birds have no idea the joy they brought 1000s of viewers. Thanks to all who made it possible and to all my chat friends I made! Jim
Thank you for this. I have been watching Emerald since mid to late March. It was very exciting to see two new eggs, then to watch Crimson and Clover hatch. Thursday's event was heartbreaking to watch followed by Friday's unsettling events. I'm happy Clover is well and being taken care of by Emerald. RIP Crimson. Thank you to all for making viewing possible.
I was so worried about the hummingbird babies that I even tried Tweeting (pardon the pun!) in my efforts to discover any updates. I watched the first hatching and felt to privileged to witness the birds leaving the nest. It’s the highlight of my lockdown here in Scotland via the WebcamTaxi link. So relieved that I clicked on the RUclips version and scrolled back through the chats on this hummingbird link. Thank you for posting this video. It is greatly appreciated, as is your care and feeding of these magical birds. Take care. Fiona from Scotland
Bittersweet story. Thank you for your dedication to these beautiful tiny birds. To Emerald & Clover, may you continue to be together, smelling the flowers. Fly high little ones. 🙏🏻
Thank you for posting this heartfelt and heartbreaking story. I think of Em and her babies every day. It still hurts , yet I am so grateful for being able have seen Em, Crimson and Clover for all those days. Thank you for all of your work and and caring, and to Alik and all of the Moderators ... Super Heroes all‼️. Soon I will be back watching your videos and Live Cams again. Always will I hold Em and her babies in my heart ❤️ ❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing the full story. I never got to see Clover’s final fledge and am so glad I finally got to see it! So proud of this mother and little bird!
So glad for this update, was so sad to see the live feed gone and worried for sweet little clover. Thank you for letting us know that she and Emerald are doing well!
Thank you so much for compiling this video! It makes my heart smile to see pictures of Emerald and Clover ☘️ together! Well done Carole and thank you Alik for all you have done to help enlighten us about beautiful hummingbirds!! 👍💕
Thank you for posting this for us. Thanks to Carole, Alik, & Beth. I know these feeds are nature, & that nature has moments of wonder and moments of sadness. I am so excited to see that Clover moved out independently! I had seen the posts that Alik was keeping the kestrel away & Clover was going to be taken to Ventura Hummingbird Rescue but I missed the actual video of the flight. 3 cheers!
I'm in tears. Poor Crimson. I can't believe how attached I've become to this hummer family.
Sending all my love to Emerald and Clover (and my heart still holds Crimson) - thank you Carole, Alik, and everyone involved.
I was away on business and just now stopped by to hear about Clover. I enjoyed hanging with everyone during this time and hope we can do this again - without the fierceness of nature. R.I.P. Crimson.

I followed this nest for around 1 month and I’m crying so hard right now
Thank you a lot for the opportunity to observe the life of such tiny birds while being thousands of kilometers away. I only managed to watch the last two days. And I was upset by the death of the chick. But now I'm glad that the second was able to leave the nest and everything is fine with him.
Great video, thank you for posting so we can see that Clover is doing well out of the nest.
Thanks for looking out for them. Live well Clover, RIP Crimson.

Well a sad story turned into a good. It happens in nature every day and when we watch closely enough we see it . Thanks Carrole
Alik, hopefully Clover will come back to visit you, hummingbirds are smart. You are that baby's knight in shining armor. God bless.

I love Hummingbirds! :)
Thank you very much for the video. We feared the worst and really appreciate knowing Clover is fine.
the pic of little clover at 5:35 would make a wonderful card.
I'm so grateful to have been able to watch these little birds the past few weeks. Thank you Carole and Alik and all of the chat mods for all your hard work! And cheers to all my fellow hummer lovers :)
Thank you for posting this video. When I came back to see how they were doing the live was gone. Sad to see Crimson gone, yet happy to see that Clover is a survivor.
Very precious. Thank you for the stream.
Life is a challenge, a sad but satisfying story knowing one survived
So sad but that is nature, although heartbreaking! I was so happy that Clover survived & thrived. Thank you for your videos
Bless all of you. My heart still aches. Thanks for putting this together. I will keep my eye out for Kestrals. I had NO IDEA!
Thanks for the video God bless Emerald and Clover. Rest in peace Crimpson, now fly with God in Heaven .... Carol and Alik, thank you for giving us the privilege of knowing more about the life of hummingbirds

Thank you so much for this. Well done. I also became attached to these little ones. Went and bought two more feeders today. Thank you again.
Thank you for sharing. So happy for Clover!
Thank you for posting this and showing us all what happened. Uplifting to see Clover is doing well.

Good Luck with everything, little one!💖
Thank you for the update on the nestlings. Requiescat in pace...
I was so worried about the hummingbird babies that I even tried Tweeting (pardon the pun!) in my efforts to discover any updates. I watched the first hatching and felt to privileged to witness the birds leaving the nest. It’s the highlight of my lockdown here in Scotland via the WebcamTaxi link. So relieved that I clicked on the RUclips version and scrolled back through the chats on this hummingbird link. Thank you for posting this video. It is greatly appreciated, as is your care and feeding of these magical birds. Take care. Fiona from Scotland
Life is so fragile. Treasuring each God given day. ❤
Bittersweet story. Thank you for your dedication to these beautiful tiny birds. To Emerald & Clover, may you continue to be together, smelling the flowers. Fly high little ones. 🙏🏻
You guys are great . Thanks for the update.
Oh wow...So sad, but a happy ending. Thank you for putting this together. Thanks to Alik for everything too.
The pictures at the end made me cry tears of joy!! So beautiful!!!

thank you so much for this update. i was very emotionally invested i watched the last clutch and this one and this breaks my heart. but thats nature
Thank you so much for the update Carole. Everything you do is truly amazing. Thank you too Alik...you are amazing as well.❤️
Thank you for this. I've been checking in on them, and showed my mom as well. It's very difficult to love nature and hate nature at the same time.
I know. I see my cats catch mice and chipmunks and it breaks my heart, but it's their nature. As much as I hate it.
Sitting here balling. THANK YOU SO MUCH for getting the pictures of Clover and Emerald the next day!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the video. Glad to hear that Clover and her mama are doing well ♥
So glad for this update, was so sad to see the live feed gone and worried for sweet little clover. Thank you for letting us know that she and Emerald are doing well!
Aww😞. Very sad, I have Crimson in my heart. Thank you Carole, Alik, and all the wonderful people who donated.
Thank you so much for this video. I was very, very worried. May Clover grow strong and healthy and live long 🙏🏻
Oh my! Farewell Crimson! Good luck, Clover! Emerald is one dedicated mom! Be careful, sweet birds!
🌸💙🐌❤️
Thank you so much for compiling this video! It makes my heart smile to see pictures of Emerald and Clover ☘️ together! Well done Carole and thank you Alik for all you have done to help enlighten us about beautiful hummingbirds!! 👍💕
Thank you, Carole for all that you do to bring hummingbird videos to so many people and thanks to Alik for his loving and tender care.
Thank you for sharing this, Carol. I admire for all the effort you've done. I want to see Emerald again in your channel.Thank you!
Made me cry, but thank you. Clover is going to grow up to be a tough little bird.
Thank you for posting this for us. Thanks to Carole, Alik, & Beth.
I know these feeds are nature, & that nature has moments of wonder and moments of sadness.
I am so excited to see that Clover moved out independently! I had seen the posts that Alik was keeping the kestrel away & Clover was going to be taken to Ventura Hummingbird Rescue but I missed the actual video of the flight.
3 cheers!
