Hello Tweets,

This morning I found not one but two species foraging almost simultaneously
in the same fireweed patch: Bushtits and Anna's Hummingbirds. I've seen my
neighborhood Bushtits working busily on this year's nest, but would have
thought that the hummingbird nests might be pretty well constructed; this
time last year, there were hungry babies in them. But perhaps substantial
nest fluffing goes on even with eggs or chicks?

In any case, now I'm planning to let the fireweeds take over a
photo-convenient corner of my yard this year!

Good birding,
Trileigh
