Hummingbirds at the feeder

[Old plug]

Ever see a hummingbird nest ? We had one here in the house for about 20 yrs. Do not know where it is currently. They are very very good at building a nest. They build them out of spider webs then stick litchen on the outside for camo. The  inside of the nest is about the size of your four finger. A spider webs wrapped around a branch as they do over and over make a almost indestructible nest and the lichen camo is something very hard to see. I remember one in a tree just off our deck that went through a terrible storm with no problem. Your really lucky to ever see one. For the most part they nest high up in trees. I see them at times collecting spider web for nest from the rafters in my dock in the spring. 

if you want to see one up close sit down in a chair with a red baseball hat on around a feeder and you might eve inches from your face. We have done that several times. The grand kids love it.

It must be the Kansas water that makes you that way.
