Hummingbirds!

Link via my grandfather: a website with photos of a hummingbird mother over a month or so as she hatches and raises two babies.

Wow, that's cool! I wonder what they use to make the fuzzy white inside of the nest.

Cool beaners. One time I was looking up references in order to try and draw owls and there was a site that had this couple keeping track of this owl family that was in the woods behind their house. The father and mother took turns in the nest while one or the other went out for food. Pretty interesting stuff when you see how birds are.

That nest was pretty neat, looks pretty cozy actually.

Yay, birds! Those are great shots. Our hummingbirds left us a couple years ago and we can't figure out why.

*squee!* Little birdies! One of the many delightful surprises about moving to SoCal is the prevalence of hummingbirds, which were a rare sight in suburban Massachusetts. Seeing more of them never makes them any less cool, though. Nature's pretty sweet.
