I Keep Looking At That Nest
Author: siggyI keep looking at that two inch diameter bird nest laying on the ledge just outside my front door. I am awed at how perfectly round the inside of it was. It had to be a hummingbird nest. I found it lying on the middle of the road, having fallen from an overhanging tree.
Two or three hummingbirds frequent my feeder outside my living room window. And they, too, awe me as they come to and fro my feeder. There are so many birds that I love watching. The hummingbird is one particular one.
The hummingbirds come regularly to sip on the nectar I have prepared for them. Every two or three days I have to refill the feeder. I never get tired watching their antics. Sometimes one will come too close to another and one will chase the other away.
When I view that little nest every day, I no longer take the hummingbird for granted. The nest I keep on the ledge is a daily reminder of their wonderous creation.
