My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Hummingbird Nesting

15 years ago

Hi. I'm a filmmaker in Tucson, Arizona. Recently I filmed the activity of a hummingbird nest in the garden behind a library. The mother hummingbird seemed to be feeding from prickly pear blossoms (and the insects that feed on the blossoms) as well as a agave flowers. Here's a link to my short video: http://vimeo.com/11030355 Enjoy!
