It seems to be the season. I have found a few nesting spots recently.
It's been a minute since I've seen a humming bird nest. I only spotted this one because the hummingbird was yelling at me then went and sat in the nest. I think I saw some little beaks poking out when I checked in on it yesterday.
here are a few owl nests I have spotted but this is probably the easiest to see as well as being really high and out of the way. I have been watching the pair for a few months. I think they took this nest from some hawks. The sad thing is that a few weeks after it looked like their nesting was in full effect I found one of the pair (male?) dead under one of their regular roosting trees. It looked like it had a deep gash on the back of it's neck and the way it was on the ground it looked similar to how I've seen hawks kill other birds. So maybe one of the hawks they stole the nest from got revenge? It's been a few weeks and the one owl is still on the nest. I was told it's not likely the eggs will hatch since (she?) would have to leave the nest for too long and the eggs would get too cool. I'm going to keep an eye on it just in case 🤞
I'm pulling for them but still getting disapproving looks!
