wwh: I once saw a hummingbird's nest in Grenada. It wasn't much larger than a good-sized thimble.
The visual image of very tiny baby hummingbirds lifting their little butts over the edge of the thimble nest and dropping their little pellets--how large would those be? Are we talkin' BB's or poppyseeds?--to the ground where some intense scientist is hidden in the bush watching these proceedings is nothing short of comical.
Bird regards,
WordWatcher
