We went to our friends, the Oliver's, house for an afternoon picnic. My husband, Gordon, went to Colton High School with Harry, Carroll and Dennis. Gordie reunited with them when they found each other on Classmates many years ago. Since then, we meet each other a couple of times a year. Watch the above short movie trailer.

The Oliver's have a hummingbird nest in their tree. We were lucky to see the mama bird sitting on her eggs. They also have beautiful roses all around their recreation area (see photo below).

Thank you, Harry and Carroll, for the lovely picnic! We had a great time. Sorry, Brigitte, for knocking your chip off the shuffleboard to win the game. I swear I'm not mean! Did I ever tell you that I am very competitive? Ask my sister. lol!
Today, I went to check on the hummingbird eggs this afternoon when I spotted a male hummingbird on my neighbor's patio. The little hummingbird looked like its feathers were molting or maybe the bird was sick. It had a beautiful shade of purple feathers on the side of its neck. After researching on the internet, I discovered it was a Costa's hummingbird.
Meanwhile, the hummingbird on the wind chime is still sitting in the nest keeping her eggs warm. I'll keep you posted if anything new happens.
A neighbor down the street has a hummingbird nest on their porch light pole sign with two little eggs in it. The incubation usually lasts 16-18 days.
I filmed the above video on March 12, 2009. That means the baby hummingbirds will hatch this week or next week (not sure exactly when the eggs were laid).
