Hummer Mommy is Back at our Hospital
Uploaded: March 12, 2010
Wow, another hummingbird is nesting just about a foot from last years nest. It is cool to see how they use spider web material and bits of colored stuff to camouflage their nests. Apparently they continue to build the nest while they are nesting. The males apparently don't help with sitting on the eggs.
This year my goal is to catch the mother in the act of feeding the fledglings.
Now the nest is closer to the hallway window and there is by and large no interposing branches.
Again, I love how photography allows one to study the little details, like the white spots on the "eye brow."

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
