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.

Really? So, the hummingbirds that stay through the winter here are Anna's Hummingbirds? That's interesting. I didn't know that.

I had a Rufous Hummingbird here for a week or so last year. Thank goodness he moved on. He commandeered the feeder and would let no other birds near it. Here he was an interloper and had the nerve to just take over the feeder! He would sit on a branch about 6 inches away from the feeder and guard it day and night.......and then after about a week, he just left. He was a beautiful reddish-copper colored bird, but what a bully! He looked a lot like this, except his copper chin feathers just lit up in the sun.
