Trimmed garlic scapes and Jasper was very interested.

"Are these eatable?"
Discovered this hummingbird nest yesterday. I noticed twice the hummingbird tussling with other birds near a particular tree branch. First a titmouse and then a cardinal, which aren't aggressive birds. I figured there must be a nest up there. Looked for it and it took me a while to spot it. I knew it would be very, very small, about the size of a walnut shell or so, and years ago I looked it up when we started having hummers in our yard. Never saw a nest before although I suspect that they have nested in our dogwood tree as I would see them in there all of the time. Anyway, I was very excited to finally see one in person. She used lichen all on the outside of the nest. No telling what is on the inside since it is so high up. I could see it from a second floor window of my house, if not for the leaves.
