sweet little mommie hummer

One of the nurseries in town has a hummer sitting on a nest in onen of their green houses. This is her second year there.

She is sitting in a lovely brugmansia tree at Bakers Nursery in PHX.

The little hummer close up. She now has 2 little babies that she is guarding and keeping warm.

A hummers nest is smaller than a little tea cup.

those pictures are beautiful i have hummers all year and have never seen a nest! Love it!

Beautiful pictures! I'd love to find one around here to observe.

Hummer babies up date.

We were in the area on Saturday and had to go to see how they were doing. It was very hard to get a good photograph because of the white background. I almost most tripped over them before I even saw them.
Here they are.....the babies...

Look for the two beeks. They look like they are about to leave the nest..

How adorable! Thanks so much for the update Mickey!

Love the hummingbird babies!! Eleanor

Been forgetting to say, this is a Black-chinned Hummingbird (female of course, only the males have a black chin).

Thanks Mickey...they are precious!

That a full nest! Great pictures.

Wow, thanks for the update Mickey, they are so sweet. Glad you had a chance to go back, and see the progress. Thanks for sharing that with us.

Guess that Brug isn't for sale. Great shots! Loved the link to the two step by step shots too. We have the Ruby Throated, but I don't think they build nest in this area do they?

How cool, and what a way to get people in to buy.
Gives a new spin on the word "nursery"

Hi Sheila, Journey North has this red area as their breeding grounds.

Rose are you okay? Looks like you got some of the bad weather than hit KC.

Hi coo! The storm just went thru our area the the birdies will all get a bath today! No problems here, just a few tree branches in the yard and all the jelly bowls have water in them!! Thanks for asking!

Thanks Pelle, that is what I thought. They are in East Tx but not central. :-((
