Hummingbird Wrap-up


In this photo, Jeanette is pointing out to our good friend and fellow resident, Dan Sewell, an Anna's Hummingbird nest. This is the location of the first nest we found this year in the Central Courtyard at the end of February.  We later located a second nest at the other end of the courtyard.  We have kept track of both nests with daily visits.  I also set up my spotting scope in the den, which allowed us to take a close look at this nest site on almost an hourly basis. It's been fun to watch the mother feed the two chicks and watch them grow. This week they finished and fled the nest. Next, we will start watching for a hopeful second round.
