They use spider webs to keep their nests(golf ball size)together. Their eggs are the size of a jelly bean/tic-tac.

what is the website name you watch? I'd love to see that!

Great pictures! Their wings move so fast, it's hard to get a shot of them not moving! Thanks for sharing them!

I love to watch these little guys. We get them around the flowers on the porch. The other day there was a baby, no bigger than a quarter. My dad got it on video, it was so cute.

That would be a great video to see. I bet he was a cutie.
Even though I don't see to many of them around here I might try my feeder again and see what happens. I've saved to many birds around here from neighbor cats but I'm sure cats can't catch them little guys. :thumbup:
