This is Helen. She is a hummingbird that made her nest in a tree in our backyard. The tree happened to be right up next to our kitchen window. We were amazed as we saw her make her nest and then sit on her eggs from a foot away with just a glass window between us. Every day we would anxiously watch as she sat on 2 little eggs the size of jelly beans. One night it was really cold and rainy so I got a styrofoam plate and covered her nest to help keep her dry. She seemed to be shivering so I took our space heater out in the rain and held it up over my head pointing toward her. Matt came home and gave me grief. He said, "things happen for a reason and if she doesn't make it through a rain storm then she wasn't smart enough to build her nest in the right place". I replied, "Yes, things do happen for a reason, and that's why she chose to make her nest right next to our window so I could see that she needed a little help:)" |
