Hummingbird Update!


From jelly bean size eggs to young Hummingbirds, it now appears our little guests are ready to leave the nest any minute now. The mom still comes by to feed them, but they are bulging out of their nest. My research shows that they are in the nest for 3-4 weeks and it has been just about that long since they hatched. We are still able to get up close and personal with them and check on them frequently. We were wondering if they would remember our faces or the noises we made as we "talked" to them. Who knows?

I set up the video camera and was able to get some excellent video of the mom feeding the babies. We are hoping for a visit from mom next year!
