Hummingbird Nest in Tropical Guava Tree


Hummingbird Nest in Tropical Guava Tree (Hummingbird Nest in Tropical Guava Tree)

This is the first time I remember a hummingbird nesting in my guava tree. She must have an egg or two because she sits in the nest most of the day. Photo taken Feb. 25, 2013.

The Guava tree is right outside the back door. I'll be passing by it many times. I don't want to bother it, though. I hope to get some photos of the babies when they're born. The nest is not too high up in the tree.

do you get the guava fruit too?

Yes, I had so many guavas late last summer and fall! I'm going to thin the fruit out this year...as they were falling every where by the hundreds.

Did you see my photos of the all the guava fruit?

I don't it them...I use them as an air freshener. They have an extremely aromatic sweet fragrance.

never would have thought of using them for air freshners?

All hummingbirds are native to the Americas (I forgot).
