Hummingbirds

Here are the hummingbirds that visited yesterday. We also saw a male and female black-chinned hummingbird. (Not at the feeder) Also. the shimmery part of a male hummingbird’s throat is called a gorget.

Rufous Hummingbird Nest

This is just outside my front door and she has been sitting on her nest for past two days. This nest is on a vine hanging down from under roof eaves.
