The hummingbirds generally nest really low to the ground. The last couple of years some of the hummingbirds' nests have been destroyed by either crows or rats. :(

Lori:
The babies have flown the nest, already!
The hummingbirds start nesting in mid-January by early-to-mid-March they're gone from the nest.

There's so many hummingbirds in my area. They love to make their nests very low to the ground. It really surprises me! The Ficus, Bottlebrush, guava and magnolia trees are the most popular places for them to nest.

Let's hope the birds eventually return to make more nests.
