Update on nest #2

  

Okay, hummingbird fans, here you go -- an update on nest #2!  

On 23 March 2024, we checked in to see whether the female was still sitting on the second nest.  Here she is from one side (above)...and below is the view from the other side showing the general setting.

 
She appears to be actively incubating.
 
While in the area, we also heard one of the juveniles from the first nest calling from a little farther away.  And a different hummingbird flew in and gave the more typical Anna's Hummingbird call notes (see below), but it looks like it could be one of the juveniles that has been out of the first nest for 10-11 days now.  I haven't aged Anna's Hummingbirds, so if you can confirm this is a juvenile (or not), let me know!
