Fragile
#47 / 119 Pictures in 2019
This little hummingbird has built her tiny nest under the eaves behind my garage and I am fascinated by it and her! I read that hummingbirds use spider web threads to hold the nest together - the outside is bits of leaves or lichen.
She does not let me get too close - but tonight I braved her wrath and climbed up a ladder with my cell phone to see what is inside. Looks like 2 tiny babies ... in the first comment below. The nest itself is about the size of an egg cup - built on an electrical extension cord. Everything is miniature and fragile!
