This morning I went back to check on a hummingbird nest I came upon last week. Turns out there is one nestling. I could have spent all day there watching nature's rhythms, but had to go after an hour. Here's what my video camera caught:
Walked by a large woody tree on a walk and heard the faint hum of a hummer departing, so I waited and sure enough, she returned and gave away her nest location. Looks like three eggs. I'll keep tabs as best I can to document the emergence of nestlings and, hopefully, fledglings. I love spring-time:
