Olga Volchkova Russian/American, 1970
I found a hummingbird's nest in my garden, exquisitely attached to a magnolia tree. I was thinking - what does it consist of? Here you can see the result of my research. The most fascinating thing was the use of spiderwebs to glue all the materials together -- such as mosses, lichens, and branches -- and the bed is made of dandelion fluff! Some of my garden flowers also provide favorite foods for these birds, to comfortably raise another generation.
