Hummingbird Nest

I just discovered one precious little bird's nest settled right in front of the window of our house. 

It's a hummingbird's nest. 

And the nest is perched right at the wire of the Christmas light bulb. I thought this bird is so creative! 

I don't know what kind or type of species of hummingbird is this but it sure is relaxing to watch as it tries to care for its eggs. 

The nest is ingeniously made of materials abundant in our yard, such as mini twigs, barks, and some cottony material which I think can be found in the chimney of laundromats somewhere or outlet pipe for laundry dryers. It certainly looks and feel cozy to touch. Also, the hummer used a lot of these red "hairbrush" of the flowers of the tree.

I tried to keep my distance from the hummer as I carefully watched and took some pictures of the bird's activity.  Pictured below is the nest clinging to the electrical wire of the Christmas lights.  At the background is the front window of the house where I took most of the pictures and film it from. 

Notice the Xmas light bulb sticking out at the lower portion of the nest, pictured below. That hummer is so smart it utilized the strength of the structure of the wire and its rigidness.  I wasn't aware the bird was making her nest around the times when Los Angeles were getting a lot of rain last winter.  Of course we spent most of our time inside the house during these season and obviously not aware that the little hummer was building its comfy abode right in front of the window! I cannot thank her enough for that for it amuses us so much just by observing her and the nest. It even took my interests and understanding about this little creature, and my wife and I gladly did!
