A team of eleven conducted this week's survey under hot, partly sunny and breezy conditions. The hummingbird shown below did all nest construction by herself, weaving bits of plants and lichens with spider silk into a spongy, elastic cup. As males play no role after mating, she will also be solely responsible for feeding the nestlings.
