Teeny Tiny Nests

I just spent a full minute watching a little hummingbird in my front garden, gathering fluff from my old Japanese anemones to use in her/his nest. (I knew there was a good reason not to clean out the gardens too early...) This was the cutest thing...other than my grandchildren...that I have seen in a very long time. He didn't leave until his tiny beak was full to bursting. Then away he zipped. I am so glad the hummers stick around here all year.

And this is an old picture of Greg with hummers on his fingers!!  (At Sitkum.)
