Here's a neat series of webpages that show a mother hummingbird and her little nest of babies _________________ It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring. -- Carl Sagan |

Humming birds are just so great. _________________ "Surely all God's people, however serious or savage, great or small, like to play. Whales and elephants, dancing, humming gnats, and invisibly small mischievous microbes - all are warm with divine radium and must have lots of fun in them." John Muir |

This is so cool. Thanks.
I don't know if you noticed the bald eagle nest that was on cam with the eggs hatching, they turned off the cameras, as both eggs did not hatch. They suspect either pollution or the couple were getting too old for the reasons the eggs didn't hatch. I really did enjoy watching the nest and saw both eggs and birds, while they were 'laying' off duty on each other (exchanging sitting on the eggs). I understand both the bald eagles and the loon will pair up for life. It's really amazing to watch them switch places to lay on the eggs. The care that they take with fluffing up the nest again.
