New Hummingbird Baby - Page 1

Yes, the same mother Hummingbird laid 2 more eggs and one hatched this morning!

To give some perspective, the eggs are the size of a Tic Tac!

Sweet Treats! Nice to see you back, I have missed your posting!

That's so nice of you !  How have you been? 

I have been so busy, I didn't even know Mommy laid 2 more eggs!

Heck, I haven't even checked on the baby eagles!  I bet they are getting so big!

Well, we're having a heat spell! They just announced half days for the kids because no thunderstorm relief is coming, and the rooms are getting too hot. No A/C in the NorthEast!

I have a bird house out my window and the sparrows had one big baby who flew off. Sure enough they were going at it on the rose bush again, just the other day. Ususally there are more babies so I always wonder if some cowbird snuck in. I see them in the redwing blackbird flocks in the spring.

I'll take warm, hot weather any day! The snow and cold is only nice till Christmas time! lol Give me another month of hot weather and I bet I'll be wishing for snow. lol

Cowbirds are very interesting birds.  Are there any other birds that do that with their eggs?

Holy crap the baby Eagles are huge!!!

Funny you should mention Cowbirds.
On the Cornell Northern Cardinal cam,  2 of the eggs in the nest they think may belong to Cowbirds!














Three Eggs

May 31, 2011 -
The female Northern Cardinal is now incubating 3 eggs.

Cardinals or Cowbirds?

The Northern Cardinal cam host sent us this image of the eggs taken from close range. It does appear as if 1 of the eggs is slightly smaller than the other 2, which may mean the larger eggs are those of Brown-headed Cowbirds.
