We have been in the midst of intense craziness with Noah finishing his Master's, then much rejoicing & celebrating after he finished with a 2-day trip to Disneyland. So, there is much to blog about all the events of the last few weeks, but I'll save that for another time. Right now, we are all excited about our hummingbird!!
Sometime last weekend, we were standing in the living room and Noah spotted the tiny nest right outside the window in the hibiscus branches. After we kept our eye on the nest, we saw the mama hummingbird come and go to & from her nest. Then, upon further investigation of the nest close-up, we saw 2 tiny eggs in the nest! WOW! We are so excited!
Yesterday, Keira and I went to the library and found some books about hummingbirds and learned all about the basics of their behavior. According to our research, the eggs should hatch pretty soon (14-day gestation period) and then we'll have baby hummingbird chicks!
We have been keeping a close eye on the mama bird and her nest throughout each day! We will keep you posted on all the excitement!
Here are some pictures...
