Artemis Robison has a good eye, as she spotted this small Anna's Hummingbird nest. The mother makes her nest out of lichen and spiderwebs, among other things, which allows the nest to expand as the chicks grow. Artemis got this photo of the three chicks.
I checked back with Artemis to see if they had fledged and she confirmed it. From the hatch of their eggs, it takes an average of 20 days until they fledge.
Anna's Hummingbirds are year round residents of the Mendonoma Coast!
Thanks to Artemis for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
Very little wind today and lots of blue sky. Temps in the mid-70's at Rick's and my place in Anchor Bay.
