The eggs may hatch as early as next Monday........I don't want to miss this as I have never seen a baby hummingbird. The questionn and answer section said the nest is the size of a golf ball, and the eggs are the size of tic-tacs......that she has four nests in this rose bush, and has been there for several years. Very interesting!!!!
