Yesterday was Day #15 of the Hummingbird Watch.
Something was definitely different. The mother Hummingbird seemed to be very agitated - unable to settle herself as comfortably on the tiny nest as she had for the last two weeks.

Sandy Nagy and I took turns peering through binoculars and finally I saw the mother bird leave the nest and come back with a "tidbit." She perched on the edge of the nest, eyeing something inside.....
Time to call Jody Hildreth!

He arrived at around 3:30.....
.... and spent the next two hours either crouched, motionless, in the underbrush or perched, still as a statue, atop a twelve-foot stepladder.
Jody's website, KidWings, is referred to by schools everywhere and receives about a thousand hits a day!
I am extremely grateful to him for his generosity in sharing these photographs with me and giving me permission to publish them here.
