It's taken through a 15X scope, through a double-paned window, cropped then enlarged with Photoshop, then lightened a little. The large dark throat is visible, and you can tell it's a hummingbird, but that's about all you can tell. BEHAVIOR Watching her come to the nest and sit on it is fascinating. Now I understand how she can actually get into a nest that appears two sizes too small. It's soft and expandable, sort of like a tight sweater. She wriggles back and forth, stretches it, and works her way down into it. Pretty cool. She's sitting on two eggs, due to hatch this week sometime, we think. BUSHTIT NEST Yesterday, I spotted two Bushtits pulling pieces of cotton from a ball Sharon put up for that purpose in the backyard. I tracked them around the house to the front yard, where their well-camouflaged, hanging nest appears to be finished on the outside, so the cotton is for the inside lining. A pair built a nest in the same tree, near this one about four years ago, but abandoned it. The current one hangs right over the curb of the street in front of our house, near where I park my truck.

It was flying north toward 237 when it tucked its wings and dove at an incredible speed. That dive is what caught my attention. After a few seconds and several feet down, it stopped the dive and continued to fly "normal" with quick wing beats. It turned east paralleling 237, and flew past the commuter traffic. I was able to clearly see and identify it as a Peregrine Falcon. I was at 237 and Wisman (nearing the 85 exit) when it paralleled the freeway heading east. Bumper to bumper traffic is a good thing some times! Just remember to put the binoculars down before you take your foot off the brake.
