This afternoon while taking a few quilt pictures I will post in a day or two, I checked on our little hummingbird nest in our backyard. Today I noticed two little beaks poking over the side.
You can't tell by the picture, but these guys are tiny. This little head is probably not more than 1/2 inch across.
I don't think the momma bird was too thrilled that I was checking out her territory. She doesn't seem to understand that she is actually the squatter. Her nest is about 15 feet up in the tree. I was standing on a chair but used my zoom lens to get these pictures. I wasn't close to her nest at all, but the entire time I took my pictures, she was going nuts. This was one of the rare times she actually held still.
Hummingbirds are my favorite. You are so lucky to have a nest in your yard.
