Last summer a hummingbird built a nest in the pear tree behind our house and raised two chicks, documented in three posts starting here.
Now she's back, in the same tree but a different location. Joan and I pass under that nest when we use the walk in back! From an upstairs room we can look down and watch her progress. This series of photos documents her progress so far. Click on an image to see the enlarged version.

I also have a video clip of mama flying out to harvest lichen and add it to her nest, afterwards squirming about to keep the nest expanded.
Further posts following her progress will be forthcoming.
