Meet Mama Hummingbird. She is an Allen's, and she clearly knows what she is doing.
She has chosen a branch ten inches from our window — this specific branch, in this specific camellia tree, in the corner of our garden that gets the golden evening light.

My husband is eating breakfast three feet away at the computer: Customer journeys. Subscription numbers. And she's out here literally weaving a home out of spiderwebs, moss and fluff.

She is building her nest while my husband is on a Zoom call.
I don't know how much she hears or sees from inside... But she decided this branch was the very best place for her family.
I don't remember why I just walked into our office. But I do know that everything I thought was important turns out not to be.
The joy! The disbelief!!

She brings fluff and stamps it into shape with her tiny feet.
From the comments - while she was building"I can't believe this is happening right outside your window. I have always wanted to witness something like this. I would never want to leave."

Mama Hummingbird on the her nest she built from nothing.
And somehow with that — she chose you to see it, too.
