Rich, that sure is a unique truck. But I gotta believe it wasn't driven in this configuration: the long exhaust pipe looks to be blocking the door and is so low that it would surely be destroyed by contact with the street surface.
Again from the archives (mid May 2018) when A female Anna's Hummingbird built a nest steps from our front door, laid two eggs, and raised her hatchlings.
The female Anna's lays 2 or 3 clutches a year between December and June; each typically with 2 eggs.
This shot probably is of the second or third brood. The previously used nest was repaired and refreshed; I suspect by the same female who initiallybuilt and used it.
It's hard to grasp how tiny the nest is - usually 1 inch (2.5 cm) high and 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) wide. this would make the cup about the size of a table tennis ball.
The photo (as usual reprocessed from the original shot) shows the hatchlings very newly emerged from the eggs - maybe minutes, maybe an hour after.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
