PINNIES

Our little hummingbird is starting to develop a lot of nice "pinnies" or "pin feathers" or, in layman's terms, developing feathers.

NESTING SEASON IS UPON US!


Nesting season is upon us once again. It is a bit early where I live, but in warmer places, some birds are starting to set up house again. Our fine feathered Allen's Hummingbird in Orange County, CA rang in the new year with two eggs. On January 16th, one of her eggs hatched. I am not sure if the other one will hatch or not, as it is now 3 days later, but let's wait and see.
