Our little guys have already started sprouting bigger beaks, growing feathers and probably doubled in size. Let me remind you that the size of this nest is no more than 2-3 inches wide. Hold your index finger to your thumb.. yea, that small.

Spring is in the Air

jimcarter About a month ago we noticed that a hummingbird was building a next right outside the back window on our deck here at the house. The crazy thing is she started building the nest on top of a lightbulb fixture from a set of string lights we have hanging. Totally random spot. A little while later she laid 2 eggs and just last night we had twins. I waited all morning for her to fly off to go get some food, pulled out a ladder and jumped up there with my 50mm to snap a quick shot. These little guys aren’t even a day old. Be sure to look at the full-size to really see all the detail. By far the highlight of my week.
