It's official: My Momma Hummer is nesting again, as of 7:00 p.m. last night. :-)

That's wonderful. And you'll have another ring side seat to the event! How fun!

So, it's the same Hummer? I had no idea that birds mated and nested more than once in the spring. I kinda hope that when my jays are finished raising their current family, that they will cool it until next spring. I worry so much about them and their babies. I try to keep in mind that the birds know what they are doing, but it doesn't really help to know that birds have been multiplying since the beginning of time without my help. LOL

LOL. Worry warts anonymous, that’s us.
I don’t know if this is this same momma. From what I have read, it could or couldn’t be. A female can find as well as build a nest. There were two nestings during winter, now this is the first of Spring.

Anna’s hummingbird is the only non-migrating species of hummer.
