This is truly amazing.
A lady found a hummingbird nest and got pictures
all the way from the egg to leaving the nest.
Took 24 days from birth to flight.
Because you'll probably never in your lifetime see this again,
enjoy; and please share. I just had to share, it was so fascinating!
Enjoy
and Blessings

The nest of eggs of the Humming Bird
A baby arrived into this world
The baby is hungry
Then there were two babies

Babies getting feathers
Beaks are growing
Look at their feathers
Getting more color

Time for a nap
Moma made sure babies stayed dry after a rain
Almost ready to fly

For a size comparison: A toothpick is 2½" long, a penny is ¾" in diameter

How cute! What a blessing that she was able to witness such a beautiful thing with her own two eyes!
Amazing...
Wonderful pics. Thanks for posting them.
Thanks, BrugAddict!
Glad to share :-)
thank you --- that was fasinating!
Momo, glad you enjoyed it. It was delightful to watch myself. I can't say that I'll ever get to see that in my lifetime but will be lucky if I did and for this to be documented each step of the way, it was something I had to share. :-)

That was fascinating! Thanks so much for sharing. :)
What a gift to be able to observe so much.
Now it's yours to observe, the gift is yours! :-) Glad you guys enjoyed it as much as I did :-)
Thank you for sharing. Those are the most amazing photos I have seen. The Penny and toothpick really put it all in perspective.

Didn't it though Betty? It's just a miracle, just one of the one's that God gave to us to enjoy! I love them little birds. The Penny & toothpick shot of the nest does put it into perspective just how little they are. The pics just look so big and then....to see the nest you know it was magnified or a fantastic camera. Gotta find out what kind of camera that is.
Thanks Betty!
Miraculous !
Thanks
Magnificent work! Even brought DH in to see them! Great!
I really enjoyed this. Thank you!
I'm so impressed that I'm going over to some of my hangouts, Dahlias, Daylilies and Hosta to tell them about it.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for posting - Can I use these in my classroom?
The camera was a Panasonic DMC FZ20 digital.
Wow! What a wonderful series of shots, BrugAddict.
Pirl recommended this from over in Perennials, so thank you BOTH for sharing. ;)
