Inspectorjoe Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 It's been a very slow week work-wise, but looking out my kitchen window I can see that not everybody's idle. With so many mouths to feed, that's a good thing. The high quality version doesn't seem to be accessible in the embedded player, so I tried to link directly to Youtube, but for some reason, you still get the embedded player.

Bill Kibbel Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 That was cool! Here's some pics of raising a family, but on a smaller scale: http://community-2.webtv.net/Velpics/HUM/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspectorjoe Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Wow, what a soft, comfy nest. I wonder what it was lined with. It's amazing that mama let the photographer get so close. My wife keeps a hummingbird feeder, but it's gone mostly unused for the past few years. Last year, we didn't see a single hummer. This year, more of the same. A few weeks ago, we were standing at the rear door of the garage and my wife was lamenting that we'll probably never see another one, ever. I stepped outside and one nearly flew into me as he was headed for the feeder. He veered off and hasn't been seen again. I thought that was pretty ironic. Last year, I had this nest in a Hinoki Cypress, but I don't know what they were. I used my finger for scale. They don't look like hummers because of the beaks, but they're just about as small. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/59/156108490_0dd9c4267f_o.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
