Hurry Up and Germinate


I'm not sure whether I have the correct term, but the sentiment is right.  We've got a pair of hummingbirds nesting on our front porch.  They built right on top of our house number sign.  It seems cute, but it's not.  We can't go out there.  Have you ever been attacked by angry hornets?  That is nothing compared to what you get from a nesting hummingbird.  It's fun until someone loses an eye.  The sooner we can get those eggs hatched and the little ones fledged, the better.  I haven't dared look in there, but they say that the eggs are about the size of a pea.  How long can it take?  (I was able to get up close to an abandoned nest in our shed, below, a feathery little cup shaped thing.)
