Two New Hummingbird Nests

It has been a busy Spring for birds here at the Dallas Retirement Village, especially in the Central Courtyard. Eurasian Collared-Doves produced a baby this year. European Starlings are currently feeding young ones. And, most importantly, the Anna's Hummingbirds had two nests, not just one, and both nests had two babies. In mid-April, the juveniles in both nests fledged. Because Anna's Hummingbirds can have more than one brood a year, I have been keeping an eye peeled for a second round of nests. For a couple of weeks, I have noticed a hummingbird going into a certain tree but try as I might I could not find a nest. I finally asked Jeanette to take a look.  She walked right up to the tree and pointed it out. I now know there are two eggs in the nest.  Then resident Carol Combs told us she had discovered a nest in the tree in front of her patio. Low and behold it contained two juveniles as shown in the photo below.  In the photo above, Jeanette is showing resident Ron David the nest at Carol's patio.

These are good sized juveniles, so I imagine they will be fledging soon.
