These neighbors have been very quiet. They are only at home part of the year. They were so quiet I didn't even know they were there until last week. I went to pick some limes for a party and saw this home.
You may have to look closely. It's a tiny little hummingbird nest. I had no clue it was there! I understand hummingbirds sometimes come back and use the same nests. I need to avoid trimming this part of the tree. Perhaps next spring we'll get to see these neighbors move back in.
I got to thinking that if there's one nest, maybe there are more. I didn't see another hummingbird nest. I know they can be territorial, so I wasn't surprised. But I did find this nest in the orange tree that's next to the lime. This nest is much larger and I have no clue what kind of bird build it.
I can't wait until next spring!
