Glad to see the Allen's hummingbird female is doing such a great job.

I have a desert area search plot that a survey (for birds) 2-3 times every ten days. I've got a black-chinned hummingbird female raising one chick in a nest in a desert willow (Chilopsis linearis).

She doesn't like it when I get near, though, so I check the nest status from about 20 feet away with my binocs.

Also been watching a brood of LeConte's thrashers turn into "punky teens."

I love my job!
