Hummingbird

When I was at lunch today I saw a hummingbird that nested in one of the table umbrellas on the cafeteria patio. She was feeding her baby hummingbird. The birds were so tiny they could have both fit in the palm of my hand. The nest couldn't have been larger than a standard coffee mug. I could have easily sat there the whole day watching them.

It's amazing what wildlife you will find in the city. Shortly after I moved here I was walking along the "jogging path" at my apartment complex at night and a possum family did a great job of giving me an adrenaline rush.

One of the nicest things about spring is having all of the birds come back to nest. It's really cool up at the lake.
