Hummingbird tales
When I peeked into the nest yesterday it was empty; this morning was a different story. I waited until I saw the Hummingbird head out (presumably for breakfast), then grabbed the step ladder and hurried to the side of the house. Inside the nest, now looking pretty cozy, what with its feathered lining, were two Tic-Tac-sized eggs. (Click on image for full-sized version)
The hummingbird was clearly agitated by my presence; I heard the thrum of its wings overhead and glanced up. We eyed each other for a moment, then she flew to the top of a nearby tree -- to keep an eye on me.
