Learning that the nest can expand to accommodate the babies as they grow larger was interesting to me.

Here in southern Oklahoma the annual return of hummingbirds is a big deal to even non-birders. Each spring a large variety of feeders become available to purchase at local stores, even grocery stores! All summer practically every yard has at least one feeder, and first of the season sightings of the little birds are announced on social media. Most are Ruby-throated, and so far, that is the only species I have seen at my feeders. But reports of Black-chinned are becoming more common, so maybe I will see one this summer!
