We have a hummingbird wind chime hanging in the carport, and one day when Alvin was out in the yard, he kept getting buzzed by a hummingbird. He could'nt figure out what was going on, and then he noticed that a hummingbird had built her nest on the wire of the wind chimes!! The nest is only a couple of inches big, I tried to show that here.
She laid 2 eggs the first time, and once they start to grow, there is no room for her in the nest. They are not so cute when they are little.
but, very pretty when they grow up.
The same hummingbird came back and laid a second set of eggs, that same season.
Well this year, we think one of the babies that was born in the nest, came back and built a nest in the exact same place and had 2 chicks this year!
One is obviously much more developed than the other out of this pair, but they have already left the nest, I hope they both survive, and maybe we will get another set this year!! What fun!
Happy Photography!
