Hummingbird Is Taking Good Care Of Her Eggs



Well here she is, coming in for a landing. she perched on the side of her nest for a bit early this evening. I noticed when the sun hits the nest she sits above the eggs to shade them, holding herself up off the eggs, to keep them from getting too warm.

She continues each morning to bring in new material for her nest. Here's how it looked this evening.

I watched her chase off a sparrow that had landed too close to her nest today, she didn't want that little bird around her blackberry patch. It was quite a sight to see.
