Hummingbirds
Hummingbirds are a common site in San Diego, and I’ll never tire of watching them. I make my own nectar and fill a feeder each spring, attaching it to my kitchen window so that I’m sure to see them several times a day. My kids are just as thrilled with our little friends’ visits, identifying them by the colors on their chests, and naming them so that we can tell who’s at the window.
I just discovered a video shot here in San Diego that chronicles the life of two hummingbirds, from eggs all the way until they fly from the nest. I’ve watched it several times, and probably will several more. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
