Hummingbird Garden

Hummer nest outside my window

16 years ago

A pair of humming birds are making a nest in the maple tree right outside my home office window about 15 feet away. I need to get a better pair of binoculars because the set I have doesn't help me see anything. My camera doesn't zoom in enough to really help either.

Oh what a treasure! Of all the years I've been watching these flying jewels, I have never come across a nest. You must get a camera from someone as I'd love to see it! Enjoy.

That is so exciting. I have never been able to find their nests, even with ladders in the fall.
