Inside
a Hummingbird's Nest
(Day 12)
- The babies
have filled up the nest and opened their eyes!
- Did you
see the new green feathers starting to grow?
- What
else has turned green? Can you guess why?
(The green lichens on the nest are alive and related to plants. Ask
your teacher about them.)
- It's hard
to see, but the nest has gotten bigger along with the babies. Why? The
spider silk in the nest very stretchy! (It's strong, too.)
