Birders who enjoy seeing nests view the nesting process from a distance as ideal without interfering with the wildlife. A user on Reddit has posted video evidence of one such case, a happy mom hummingbird with four babies in her nest, located next to her kitchen window. The mother hummingbird is extremely dedicated, leaving the nest to feed her new babies, and the video captures the hummingbird in her daily routine. Watching this video is an extremely rare opportunity to see daily interactions of tiny pollinating birds. remarkable glimpse into a hummingbird nursery

Why This Nesting Moment Matters
Backyard birders are always on the lookout for a hummingbird nest. The small nests are camouflaged, made from lichens and spider silk. In order to witness a mother hummingbird feed her chicks, having a nest located outside of a window is the best chance at seeing this behavior without expensive camera gear. Most people tend to focus on the nectar feeders, but this shared moment offers a gentle reminder of life cycles occurring in the backyard and the birds. This is a wonderful example of the most heartwarming stories wildlife can bring just outside our window with a little luck, a bird-friendly environment, and a humble glass.
