Two Eggs

Posted on April 17, 2014 by likeitiz

My daughter and her roomies have discovered a hummingbird nest in the backyard of their Castro rental. Mother bird has been busy tending to her two would-be off-springs.

Notice how each egg is a different color. And a great color together too! How did she do it? She won’t say. She just continues to hum.

      Yes. I was told that once we handle the eggs, the mother bird might not recognize the eggs as hers and abandon them. So, we just admire from a distance. 🙂
