Just outside our bathroom window grows a tangelo tree. Look who built a nest on a straggly branch ! From this bathroom window, we can see this little hummingbird mama and her nest. We have a front row seat view (literally front row seat if you know what I mean ). The bottom half of the bathroom window is frosted, so she does get privacy. We keep it cracked open to take peeks, and she doesn't seem bothered by us. I wish we could see inside the nest, perhaps we'll have to wait! Has Spring brought you any surprises ?

I will try! This mama keeps flying off . . . sometimes I don't see her and I worry that the nest was abandoned (but she does come back eventually). We shall see!!

The branch is about a foot away from the window - so we can see it quite clearly - and the little mama doesn't seem to mind!

With the warmer weather, many hummingbirds are out and about now. We're fortunate this one will be staying a while .

How neat, it is hard to get a still like that. Their wings beat so fast. No spring surprises yet!

Funny but even when they are in the nest, you can still see the wing trying to flutter - yah, it seems like they can't stay still!

How did I miss this ..... oh wait, I know how, I'm not on that often anymore so I don't always see what you've posted. I haven't seen any hummers yet or rather I haven't heard any, they're so fast I rarely see them. It would be so kool to see something like this. Ok ok, I'z jealous

A few years ago, we had a hummingbird build her nest in a big Rose Of Sharon bush by our front porch. I figured it would never stay, with the ins and outs of the door being opened and closed, but it did. So very fascinating to watch! Enjoy your ''throne'' moments!

Were you able to see the little ones ? This little mama does not seem to be disturbed either - with the window being shut and open so often (we try to do it quietly). It is neat to watch - live and not on YouTube .

@much2say We saw 2 little ones. They were there one day next to mama, and then they both flew off with her. There must have been just two eggs? We never knew for sure. The nest was so, so tiny!

A sudden cold - oh no! A lot of people have severe allergies here with everything growing and pollen being everywhere. Hope you feel better soon!

How fabulous! I would absolutely love to see a hummingbird in her nest. Itching to know when the babies hatch and if “dad” is around to help feed them.
