They may have a bit of an ice coating on this morning but what a seat this tree family has to welcome in each new day!

A female Calliope Hummingbird feeding its young. Photographed in Hailey, Idaho
"Females build a well-insulated cup-shaped nest with soft, downy plant material. She camouflages the exterior with bits of lichen, moss, or bark fragments, which she binds together with spiderweb. On the outside, nests are 1.5-1.8 inches wide and just over an inch high. The inside of the nest has a diameter of 0.8 inches and is 0.6 inches deep. Females may reuse nests or build upon older nests in subsequent nesting attempts."
