It appears that Ms. Hummingbird's egg has hatched. She is now away from the nest for longer periods searching for food. We've seen her feeding the little one though we can only see the tip of the youngster's beak
Of course now Mrs. Hummingbird is even more obnoxious. If we try to eat out on the patio, she will hover near by buzzing around in obvious displeasure. Usually we give up because we feel guilty. One time we were in the kitchen standing by the screen door and she hovered outside just opposite to us wanting to know why the heck we were there!
Wife is getting annoyed with the whole thing. She says we're going to move the wind chime so we don't have to deal with this again next year. Nonetheless, I have convinced her that it is only appropriate that we have a baby shower to help mother and fledgling on their way. All baby shower gifts can be sent attention to us and we will pass them on to Mrs. Hummingbird. She has expressed a desire for a couple of things in particular.
Bottles of high quality 2005 French Burgundies or Bordeaux. Evidently these are good for feeding baby birds
A new Kitchen-Aid mixer - I told Mrs. Hummingbird that my client who makes the motors for these told me that the motor on the cheaper version is actually better than the motor for the ritzier version
A new zoom, telephoto lens for Wife's Nikon - Mrs. Bird wants wife to get good shots of baby while it's growing up.

tell you what, y'all come here in Feb and I'll take you to Le Garage, we can get one of them fancy bottles of wine for a good price over a good meal
but what you will get will be bundles of diapers and a lot of onesies.
The best I can do is a bottle of BonBon 2008 Shiraz Rose, which I fell in love with at the reunion. I'll give it to you at the wedding reception.
I'm sending a box of dead worms and some sugar to mix with water. No wine for you!!
