Hummmm Babies

Hummingbird Babies

Our friends Mari and Harmon stopped by the other evening to tell us that they had found a Hummingbird nest in their back yard with two baby Hummingbirds in it.

The babies were growing rapidly and had just opened their eyes.  Naturally, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to see them.

The nest is in some plants draped over the edge of a hanging pot about five feet off the ground.   Mari had carefully removed all the other potted plants and chairs from under the nest to give the mama bird some space to tend her brood, and mama sat close by while we got a look at the babies, and a few photos, naturally.

We'll be interested in following their progress.
