This Hummer Is No Bummer
Look who parked on our driveway. A single mom, perched upon a 2″ diameter home of her own construction, nurturing two bean-size eggs. Hers is a handsome little home, glued together with spider web and cushioned with bits of sage leaf and down from her own body. Over the next six weeks, it will be her job to single-wingedly incubate, hatch, feed and fledge her babies. And since her nest is only 8′ off the ground, directly outside the window overlooking the driveway, we will be able to document the little family’s progress. Sometimes a hummer in the driveway isn’t such a bad thing after all.
