Hot here too. Think I've spotted (with help on one) two nesting sites. No way will I be able to reach either one. Too high, but Jonathan is getting a better camera than mine, so maybe his can get it. The second one is activity I saw today when walking by the cabin. It may be that the hummer nest inside the old cabin (Photo posted on the first page of this thread) is still being used. I am not going to go look. I'd kill myself on trying to get high enough to see. Besides I don't want to disturb her if she is nesting.
By the way, sunny, Mama would get off the nest if it was too hot. She would also be able to fan it with her wings, like bees do to cool the hive. I've never seen an egg baked in the (Chicken) nest. The Mama's just know. So don't worry. (Chickens aren't smart about a lot of things, but they are downright canny when it comes to the care of their clutches.)
Here was my first visitor yesterday.
Color! Not a great shot though.
