She flew after collecting everytime high into a big tree, so somewhere there she is making a nest.
Wauw , what a energy she had. She was not happy with me cleaning the windows, that was her nest material.
Hummingbirds use the spiderweb as a glue to make the nest sturdy.
So she was trying to make me afraid for her.. well I did stop with cleaning... she was buzzing around me and she was in my face
No respect for me...but respect for a rufous tailed Hummingbird, snowy bellied Hummingbird and a violet Sabrewing..they all were upset by her and chased her away.
But then she was trying to chase away a road side Hawk who was landing in "her" tree.Hormones do funny things with birds(and humans :) ).
I did go inside our house and OH NOOO she went after me!!
Of course like a lot of Hummingbirds do, she could not find the door to go out anymore.
In more or less 5 minutes she was tired and I picked her up...took (very fast) a picture and brought her outside, she flew away. Half an hour later she was busy with the spider webs again...
Did find this link, pfff...I did good ... https://www.audubon.org/news/jon-hamm-rescues-small-birds-and-you-can-too
And so today 6th of February 2016 two brand new bird watchers..(never went birdwatching in their lifes) did go with me. We had a lot of fun. We had 5 male and 1 female Quetzal in love...and nice other birds...see down below. Great morning.
Could not resist to take a picture of one male Quetzal.
