READER PHOTOS! More baby hummingbirds

More great photos from Pam Wittenberg in Santa Rosa , California , today . Of these , she says , “ I was down near the creek in our backyard draw all in twigs and arm down when I got divebombed by an angry hummingbird . Her nest was so well obscure I did n’t realize I was in peril of damaging it . mamma ’s disguise technique on the nest using lichens , moss and spiderwebs is amazing , is n’t it ? She apace went back to posture on her orchis , hold an eye on me all the while . Her babies have since hatched so she visits our self-feeder even more now . Ca n’t hold back to watch them grow up . ”**Be indisputable to tap all of the exposure on the left!Thanks , Pam !
