Growing up fast

  

A quick hummingbird update (3 April 2025): In the nest we've been following, the chick has grown a lot during the last couple of weeks.  (Compare tonight's photo to the one on 20 March 2025.)  I'm guessing it will be another 7-10 days before the chick is ready to leave the nest.

Thank you for these updates; I love watching your hummingbird nest. We have both Anna's and Rufous here on the Olympic Peninsula, but I very rarely see a nest, and I've never been able to watch what you have documented.

Hi, Wendy! Just lucky that this nest is in a location where we can see it pretty well and watch from a distance so as not disturb them. I didn't realize they would use the exact same spot in different years. Is it the same female as last year? Maybe! It's been fun to learn more.
