Empty Nest Syndrome...
Two days ago the <3-day> older female baby porch hummingbird left the nest,
and didn't return; but hung around close by.
The little younger male left the nest this morning--
he made it as far as the garden 'west-forty' fence...
...mommybird continued feeding...
...and big sister kept him company while he practiced...
...he made it back across the garden to the east side...
...meanwhile his sister was playing helicopter with a trash can--
and was totally exhausted by the time I discovered she was stuck...
...and then he fell off his perch--
and ended up in Doctor Jackie's nest...
...made it back up to a pineapple plant...
...the sun has set and it's gettin' dark;
and this is where he's gonna spend the night--
trying to put him back in the nest might cause more problems...
