Teeny Tiny Bird’s Nest
While I was visiting my mom the other day she told me about a tiny bird’s nest in one of her butterfly bushes. It really is a tiny nest, you can’t really tell by the photo, but the eggs are about the size of marbles. We’re not sure what kind of bird it is, I’ll have to see if I can figure it out? The little bird was chirping at us from a tree while we took a few photos of it’s little treasures. 
A few sites to help identify birds & their nests:
All About Birds – a great general website to help identify birds.
Sialis – has photos of many eggs and how to identify birds by the eggs in the nests.
Nest Watch– helps identify birds by the sizes of their nests and the eggs inside. You can also sign up and enter the information about the nests located in your yard. This would be a great thing to do with kids!

Hummingbirds
We have a few hummingbirds that come back each year. Last year we put up a small feeder on the kitchen window, our cats love to sit in the windowsill waiting for the hummingbirds to come. I’m hoping to plant a few more flowers for them in coming years. They sure are hard to get a photo of, I managed to get this one yesterday, maybe I can get the ruby-throated one as well!
