How wonderful to see them in such sharp focus. Isn't nature wonderful, to be able to create something so tiny, yet perfectly colored and detailed. And it can FLY!

Do we think that was 'Mom' feeding the babies? Pretty colorful. I don't know anything about hummingbirds, but I know most females birds are drab, while the males are more 'showy'.

Thanks for the link!

They are hummingbird moths. Often mistaken for hummingbirds, due to their flying and flittering. This link will help: http://www.birds-n-garden.com/hummingbird_moths.html In it's caterpillar stage it is a hornworm. http://www.coopext.colostate.edu/4DMG/Pests/hummingb.htm

Terrene - When I clicked on your link, it wanted me to register but I found the same video on Youtube and will link it below. I loved this video. It's so cool to watch the hummingbird fly around and come back and land on his finger. Here is a link that might be useful: Rescued Baby Hummingbird

From what the Internet said a" hummingbird moth" is not a danger to my plants as they suck nectar out of a straw like pipe or something and that is not saying when they are in the caterpillar stage it doesn't eat leaves.I found this picture on the Internet and looks like this. Not sure if it is the same as a horn worm but if I saw a worm like that I would have a tendency of squashing it too. I once found an ugly pack rat in a shed and squashed it between two sheets of plywood screaming the whole time,then flushed it down the sewage clean out stand. I had nightmares of it for weeks about those beady black eyes so may not flush them. We don't live there anymore lol

What a nice video! I didn't notice a location, wonder if it's in a place they live year round (if there is one). Looks like this little one would be happy to stick around for a while! Thanks for sharing!

That's awesome. That took a lot of patience to get such great shots and it's amazing how tiny the nest was. Thanks for sharing them.

"Did you do the pictures? Fabulous!"

No, I did not do any of this work. The link was sent to me by a friend. It was a worthy work, so I passed it on.

In my opinion and contrary to what they said, the people involved did get their faces too close to the nest and disturbed the status quo. They mistook the bird's concerned behavor for alertness.

That top photo was my desktop picture when I worked at the library. I never tired of looking at it!
