     Hummingbird nesting  is wonderful! I wish ours would nest near so I could see them.

    Wow, I thought hummingbirds had fledged already. If this photo was taken in the last few days, maybe this is a SuperMom who already successfully hatched one brood and is going for two this year. Great photo, lucky you!

    Since I took the photo a few days ago, she is no longer incubating the egg(s) but now busy feeding at least one nestling (there may be 2, but it’s hard to tell from a distance). Hummers are incredible birds!

       … and so incredibly tiny!

Sorry, comment time is over.
