Have You Ever Seen
a Hummingbird Nest!
Our Friend from Ridgecrest California Has!
Here is His Story!
I live in Goodyear, AZ. Have two feeders there. I think they are Ruby too as the males have the red throat.
However, my son bought a fixer upper in Ridgecrest, CA. I travel to Ridgecrest every other week to help him out doing menial tasks, like cleaning up the yard, cutting boxes, and holding stuff. I have time to sit around.
When we first got to Ridgecrest, in February, I noticed an abandoned Hummingbird nest on the awning support. I did not touch it and I am glad. Last Thursday there was a little girl on it. She was very skittish, but not so much now.
I put up a feeder. Other Hummingbirds are using it, but I have not seen her use it. She is very protective and even had another girl come by and were fighting, all the way to the ground.
I have no idea why she returned to such a precarious place. The awning had a tree limb fall on it and the supports look as if it's ready to collapse.
We were going to work on it this weekend, but our plans have been put on hold".
Don managed to get a photo of the eggs in the nest when mama flew off for food.
What a Great Story!
