A few days ago while at our computer, my husband told the kids, “Hey look! There is a hummingbird flying in and out of our tree!” As the days went by, I noticed that the same hummingbird would frequent that tree outside of our window and I thought maybe there was a nest! I was so excited as we already spied a robin’s nest at our park that we frequent and this would make two nests that we could watch this spring! And it is a HUMMINGBIRD’S nest!! Have you ever seen one? Well, I hadn’t so I had to invesitgate. Sure enough, so delicately balancing on a tiny branch, there it was, a tiny, mud casted bowl. The first time I looked I was a little nervous about disrupting the home as the hummingbird was flying nearby. But as the days have gone by, I just had to check and see if there were any eggs inside. Sure enough, two tiny jelly-bean sized eggs lay inside.
I captured this photo today while it was raining. I haven’t seen the hummingbird all day, and I hope that it returns. I will keep an eye on this new beginning and post new photos once the little hummingbirds are born.
