| Feeding Time for Baby Hummers, West Portal |
For the first time since I spotted mama sitting on her nest on Feb. 11, I can finally confirm that at least two eggs have hatched. It also looked like she was feeding a third hungry mouth farther back in the nest. After feeding her brood, she snuggled down over them and was indeed sitting high on the nest, reinforcing the possibility that the eggs had hatched when I visited three days ago.

| This was the view when I first arrived. A female hummingbird landed on a nearby tree a couple of times, and I hoped I wasn't making the mama nervous as I stood below the nest. But that female was still there when the mama of this nest buzzed in with food for the brood. |
