It's so cute! We used to have hummingbirds in L.A., and had the feeders out. The build their nest in the Joshua Trees. My kids still live in my house there, and tell me there were baby hummingbirds again this year.

http://community.webtv.net/Velpics/HUMNice pics, Rave. Hummingbirds are my favorite bird. We had a couple build a nest (looks like a small espresso cup) outside our dining room window. And have you ever seen the mating thing the male does when a female is sitting on a branch and the male comes and jogs back and fourth in mid-air very quickly, right in front of her? They're great fliers. Their wing muscles have the highest concentration of mitochondria (energy releasing cell component) of any vertebrate tissue- that's what gives them the ability to beat their wings so quickly.
