Today, Feb 10, 2018, I went to the Stanford Cactus Garden around 9am, and the Hummingbirds were still at it, working to gather materials for their nests. I saw one gathering moss from the ground, another getting it from the large cacti, and another just getting nectar from the aloe plants. Also a few other birds along in the garden too. The photo below and a few others came from the closest I've been able to get to these hummingbirds, perhaps it felt comfortable enough to sit on the thorns and gather it's materials- only about arms length away from me. These hummingbirds are maybe only a few inches big.
