Hummingbird nests in an Ann Arbor News boxes, Ypsilanti, June 1954

Two Ann Arbor News delivery tubes at the Lawrence Oltersdorf home, 1678 LeForge Rd. in Superior township, just north of Ypsilanti, have been invaded by a pair of hummingbird families. Jeanette Oltersdorf watches as a mother bird (left, under the tubes) hums angrily at the photographer. The inset view shows one nest already occupied with young (lower left) and another nest in the process of being built in the upper tube. Rather than wreck the hummingbirds' happy home life, the Oltersdorfs have their paper delivered on their lawn.
