WEST SEATTLE BIRDS: Watch for tiny nests

Thanks to Mark Dale for sending the photo of a nesting Anna’s Hummingbird in Lincoln Park. With spring now just three weeks away, it’s a reminder to watch for nests large and small, especially if you’re doing tree/shrub work. Here’s a WSB story from 2019 with photos and information, courtesy of community naturalist Kersti Muul, about what to watch for.

    That nest is built to expand as the baby birds get bigger.  And their eggs are the size of small jelly beans!

    Aw sweet thing, this photo would be nice framed.

    Did you know hummingbirds sometimes use spiderweb silk for their nests?
