Pelle and Mrs Ed, I couldn't have done the hyperlink without your expert help on previous occasions.  Thanks.   And yes, EFGeorgia and Pelle, I have looked at images I took a little over a week ago and it's marvellous to see how much it's grown and in such robust health.

skwinter, what a treat to have hummingbirds nest at your house.  And how good to bring the local kids in.  They would have been amazed by it.  Who knows, one of those kids might become a keen bird watcher as a result of your willingness to share and educate.

  There wasn't much action at the nest this afternoon, other than when the female came back to the nest after a 15 minute absence.  Whilst she was away, the male came down into the nest from the branch he uses to survey his kingdom and oh boy, didn't she give him what for.  He left without argument (wise bird). This picture show the female on the right (see the metal leg band) telling him in no uncertain terms to get out.
