Life's Even Littler Surprises!


I've never seen a hummingbird's nest before! Way too cute! My nephew spotted this one in his back yard in an orange tree. The size of the nest is smaller than a golf ball, and the eggs are about the size of those little jelly belly jelly beans. I wish I was going to be here to see them hatch! Life really is full of little surprises!

I have never seen such an tiny nest either, though we have summertime Hummers in the mountains of CO where I live. Thanks for sharing these shots. Your Header photo is great.

That is such a precious little nest. I just love humming birds, but until now I never even considered their nests or how tiny the eggs. Fantastic photography.
