"Coincidence" sure is a funny thing. For example, in spite of having two hummingbird feeders , more flowering plants than you can shake a stick at, and biblical numbers of hummingbirds in the yard, we ain't ever had a nest.
But sure enough, just as our hummie kids are growin' up and movin' out, Our friends Jason and Rachel got a hummie family of their own. This one on a wind chime about a foot away from their front door. Much the same set up as ours. Kind weird.
Well, they've got another four weeks of wondering whether or not it's ok to use the front door, keepin' an eye on the cats, and debating whether to leave the porch light on or turn it off - it's motion activated. Being a vicarious bird parent can be exhausting. Somehow the birds manage it, though. Rachel thinks there might be a second jellybean in the nest now; it's been just over a week. Won't be long before they hatch out and this party gets started.
