That is really something Laurie. So sweet. It is such a privilege to witness this process. You are blessed. :o)

bandjzmom - Thanks! It is really amazing. I am mesmerized!

The second baby hatched sometime between yesterday (Saturday) and today (Sunday 5/22). Once again, we were lucky to get a picture very quickly while mother Hummingbird flew away briefly. She does not go very far away!

We saw a little bit of movement of these babies. It will be interesting to see how much stronger they get with each passing day : )

Have you seen mama bird feeding the kids yet? It's pretty dramatic with that long bill; one wonders how the little ones survive the process.

-O-

-O- Haven't seen her feed them, yet. I will ask my MIL to keep me posted when she sees the mother feed the babies. We live close enough to bike over to her house each day and check on the progress of these adorable birds.

If I lived at her home, I would sit on her couch all day just looking out the window at this site : )

I hope we can get a feeding picture. We would likely have to capture that photo from inside the house (behind the glass window).

they are like flies with beaks!

Here is a link that might be useful: Baby Hummers getting fed

lazygardens - Thank you for the link! I enjoyed looking at those pictures and reading the captions.

I wonder how many days or weeks they will remain in this nest before flying away?

Mama has a job ahead of her. Go mama!
