Pat.....this nest is spectacular with the flowering tree around it!

She is a beautiful "bleu" hummingbird,or at least has some pretty blue patches. I will be back!

Ummm - no flowers yet - that's lichen - but she has shown artistic talent, decorating the nest with it

Hi everyone... Thank you for this cam and thread..


I got these caps early this morning around 8:45am

Tweet is off the nest.. can see one egg.


Tweet returns with some fluff


She is brooding her egg now

10:39am
Tweet is off the nest bowl
10:39am
Tweet just flew on the nest

10:40am
Tweet is actively looking around.

10:46am
Tweet was off the nest again for about one minute then came flying back

10:47am
Brooding her egg now



QUESTION... Does anyone know when Tweet laid her first egg... i will read up on all the information available later today..

I just read the most recent blog update on Eric's site - http://www.hummingbirdsupclose.com/blog/welcome-tweet - and he said this might be the first nest for Tweet - she just hatched last year. I'll try to ask if he knows how many eggs there are.

His site says two - I have seen a full one and a hint of one hiding inside the nest wall!

Thank you JudyB and Pat for the information... this should be interesting to watch this new Mom... she is on her own ... unlike our eagles who have the male around to help..
