No Daily on Friday, only 1 response to the Thursday Daily - that's discouraging.
I hope this weekender gets more activity.
We're back to watching a hummingbird on the nest. Odds are that it's the same one we observed 6 to 8 weeks ago.
This time there is only one egg - 2eggs are more common. But raising just one nestling should make things easier for the incredibly hard-working mother hummer.
Here she is incubating the egg; photo taken 2 days ago...
Every time I see the eggs I am amazed at how small they are: about the size of a small jellybean and maybe slightly larger than a navy bean or a great northern bean.
This was a challenging shot because the area is so dark and I couldn't shoot as slowly as needed and still have any chance of a sharp photo. Fortunately my camera does a good job of taking low-light photos without much noise.

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