Anna continues

During a neighborhood walk this afternoon, we paused briefly to check on the Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna) that had started to build a nest.  She's done very well! 


[For a comparison, see the post called "Anna begins" on 1 April 2020.]

Below is a view from a different angle.  She's used some interesting bits of lichen and moss:


An Anna's Hummingbird usually lays two eggs.  The incubation period is ~16 days.  We don't want to disturb her, so we'll wait a little while, but we'll try to check in again later.
