The Hummingbird Eggs Hatched!



My neighbor called me today to let me know that the baby hummingbird eggs were hatching. By the time I got there the second egg had already hatched. Here's a short glimpse of the little birds. Watch the video.

I couldn't stay long because the mother was shooing me away. She was very upset with me and I don't blame her. She actually pecked at my golf visor and told me to leave NOW!!!!!

Watch the above video. Also see previous video Hummingbird In A Nest

Wow! Such tiny babies! I think the best part of your video was hearing you get pecked on by the mom. Also the close-up sound of her wings. Facinating! Good job risking injury for your art!
