About the author: :hummer: :hummer: The porch and its surroundings were center stage for the several years they spent documenting in film and spectacular close-up photos the nesting of a black-chinned hummingbird named Honey. Honey's nest of sticky spiderwebs and downy plant fibers sat balanced on a clothesline Wednesday. It stretched beneath the porch's ceiling. It was there the day they arrived from New York on April 17, 2002. "We virtually got off the plane, drove up here and walked to the back porch. There was a cardboard sign on the floor with an arrow pointing up that read, 'Be Careful! Hummingbird's Nest Above!' That was the first hummingbird's nest we'd seen." Then Honey flew up, her wings beating at least 50 times a second, allowing her to hover long enough for a pose.... continued Title: Re: Hummingbirds first flight: Amazing footage Post by: Dot_Forrester on 30-Aug-09, 08:47:40 AM Wow! :thumbsup: I cannot believe that nest stayed in place.
