Baby Hummingbirds and Sakura?

[aimeekitty]

Hi, folks!
One of my wisteria vines is also blooming! ... and here's another photo of Belle Story Rose!

More Balboa Park Sakura photos later. I took a ton... so... I need time to edit them and I'm just BEAT, BEAT!

Look at what I found in my baby sakura tree!
This bird nest is super super tiny! Is it a hummingbird nest? I put up a feeder in my yard,... I think maybe I should put up another one, too! I loooove hummingbirds. I'll plant some more hummingbird friendly plants when I get some time, too.


This is one of my little (planted in Dec) sakura trees. I'm not sure what type it is... at the nursery they told me it it was a double-pink... but it's blooming single white. But sometimes people say it doesn't bloom what it is the first year. I don't really mind either way, I like both types (though I'd prefer a pink since my other tree is definitely a white!) I'm super happy that it looks like it's actually going to bloom a decent amount soon! So hopefully that means it's doing well.

I am a wildlife biologist by training and I'm asking you (nicely, of course :) - please don't put up another feeder. Hummingbirds become reliant on them and then people forget to fill them, or they become rancid, and the birds die from lack of food (they need LOTS of energy all the time, so having plenty of food around is vital).

If you need plant recommendations for your area, feel free to ask me. I'd be happy to recommend some natives for your region that would attract hummingbirds and would be more reliable for them, and would require less maintenance for you than feeders. I do this for a living, so it's no trouble, and I like making things better for wildlife whenever I can :)
