Nestlings

A plethora of baby birds have graced our nursery in the past two weeks!

Sue from the Greenhouse found a baby mourning dove resting in a houseplant recently delivered from San Francisco. Heather and myself became its temporary caretakers and at first we thought it might have broken its wing because it was holding it in a funny manner. With the advice of Cyndee we decided to release it near a family of nesting doves.
I had heard from Anthony that there was a hummingbird nest somewhere on the grounds but neither of us knew where it was. Christian, our new intern from Germany came and showed us because he had seen them the other day and had never before seen a hummingbird.
