Very cool! I just love the hummers. Last summer, my son and I was holding the feeders, and the hummers were perching on our fingertips. VERY neat experience. I think my heart was beating as fast as theirs! LOL

Oh, we have lots of humming birds here but I've never seen a nest! too cool!!!

I put some new photos on post #1 for those who want to see how fast the babies are growing.

Too bad you can't stick your thumb near their heads...I'd love to see how small the chicks are!

Maybe tomorrow when the mom is away, I can try to do that. Momma gets upset when people go to close to the nest, and she is always nearby. I have to get on a step stool to get photos, even at that I can't see in the nest. I have to hold the camera way above my head to get the photos of the nest.

I went to check on the baby chickadee I knew about, and it was gone. So, I guess it's already flown the coop, and I never got a pic. Glad you're getting pics of these babies.

Ok... I put a new picture with my thumb so you can see how tiny they are. It is at the bottom of the Original Post.
