Happy Mother’s Day with some photos of a Rufous Happy Mother’s Day with some photos of a Rufous Hummingbird nest in 2006. From 2001-2007 there was a Rufous Hummingbird that nested in one of our barns. She found a piece of chain that was hanging about 10 feet high and 20 feet into the barn where she built her small nest. There is a large door on the barn that we used to keep open during much of the year. It was such an unusual location that we guessed that it must have been the same bird each year. Photos were taken with our first digital camera, a small Pentax. I could quickly climb up a ladder next to the nest when the mother left to forage. In case you don’t know, the female does everything from building the nest to feeding her young so there is only one adult coming and going. The two eggs were laid on May 4 and 6. They hatched on May 22. They fledged on June 13. In 2007 there was a final nesting. Two weeks after hatching the mother disappeared. We ended up taking the two chicks to a wildlife rehab center. The last photo shows Katherine with the two juvenile birds after they came back to be released. Though we quickly learned that we would have to feed them for another 10 days as if we were their mothers. As soon as they were able to forage for themselves they didn’t land on us any longer. We see fewer Rufous Hummingbirds which are migratory these days. The Anna’s Hummingbirds are now year round residents and more common at our farm.

New growth on the living willow structures. The wo New growth on the living willow structures. The woven fence and archway were planted in March 2018. I probably need to prune the archway a bit more but it’s hard to resist those swaying purple rods. The second one is my Continental Purple pop up canopy planted in 2022. Final is the willow hut planted way back in 2011. . #livingwillowstructures #salix #dunbargardens #skagitvalley
