Moms back again this year!!

[quadrafire]

Of the two known nests in our yard only one is being used this season. She's been busy,must have arrived pregnant or we just missed the early courtship this season. I'll try to update this as it progresses as it is in an easily accessible spot.
It's on one of these mountain ash branches. Very camoflaged.
Some Camo company could copy this pattern and we would be invisible

These eggs are tic-tac sized for those of you that haven't seen them before

Oh Sorry. It's a humming bird

Not a great pic but she wasn't in the mood for better. I think they hatched 48 hrs ago but couldn't get close till today. 2 babies and she is quite the protective mom.
Just love watching her!!!

well here is about 2 wks of growth since the last pic. Mom has been keeping me at bay, but she wasn't around them today. They fill out that nest quite well.
