The Nash household is very excited that we have a second generation of hummingbirds using our front door nest. We had a hummingbird family last spring which resulted in one baby (two eggs) and we named the new addition Jessiphina. This fall we trimmed the camellia bush around the nest from last year, even though we assumed that a hummingbird would not re-use an old nest. We were wrong. We are not sure if this is the original mom who made the nest in '06, or maybe it's Jessiphina - the baby. Or maybe a new hummingbird just happened to find the old nest. We noticed the first egg last week, and then the second egg appeared on Monday, 4/23. We'll take picture updates as best we can without being too intrusive. Hard to tell from the photos, but the eggs and nest are TINY!!!
