Hundreds of people in cyberspace are on pins and needles this week, waiting to learn whether a baby Allen’s hummingbird in Irvine will survive.

The baby and its mother can be seen live via video streaming. They live in a cup-shaped nest in a rose bush in Joe Dellwo’s front yard. Dellwo, who works as a chip-maker at a semi-conductor company, says the nest has been occupied for seven years.
This year, however — his third streaming live video — all is not well in the nest.
“This chick doesn’t seem to be developing, so I may have to take her to a rehabber,” Dellwo said.
