Hummingbird and Butterfly Gardening: Hummingbird Sitting on Nest!, 1 by sunnyg

We discovered this little hummer defending her nest last night. I've never seen a nest before, and was not expecting to see one so early in the year! Between the recent rain, and a little freeze that crisped up my fuchsias etc., there just isn't much food out there for her to eat. We made an emergency hummingbird feeder run today (I usually just stick to flowers), and hope she and her eggs survive okay, as it's a bit stormy out there again tonight.

Here are a few pics from this afternoon...I'm not able to get decent shots with my point and shoot camera, but will continue to try :-).
