Nest Building Time

Last few days have been warm and birds are busy somewhere else.   With the above normal temperature, the honeysuckle began to bloom in the backyard.

A female Anna's Hummingbird showed up here to get spider's webs for her nest building.  Right on the neighbor's hedge, there are many webs shining in the morning sun.

"I have to get these spider webs.  The nest made

 of the web expands as my babies grow.  Here it is."

It's not just a hummingbird who is getting ready for rearing the next generation.  I saw a couple of Bushtits collecting the cotton that I scattered for their nest building needs.

"I need to use this fluffy thing for my nest building."
