    Hi Linda:
    Great job and timing. The camera really grabbed the moment. Glad you are linking me with your work. I just put up another table read like you did before. Needs a lot of work.
    Thanks again and you are doing really great shooting!

    Great shot! It's fun to watch as they progress. Maybe you can catch them when they start to fly... wonder if the will stay around the nest for a while?

    Excellent!
    How cute this that! :))))
    You'd think that mum would hurt the little ones when she sticks that long beak straight down they little mouths.
    Can't wait to see what their up to next :)))

    GREAT job on the film of these mate :))))

    You should keep all these plus the rest you do and after they fly the coup you should make one long video of the whole things and add some music to it ....YIPEE a Hummingbird movie...It will be better than woody wood pecker :))))

    Wow, how they have grown since last week! They don't seem to keep the nest tidy very much :-)
  • Linda McClure plus 9 months ago
    Yes indeed, the babies have grown from a size of a raisin to a walnut in just one week! Looking forward to watching them grow. Thanks for your comment.

    Wow they are really growing quick. that for the update
  • Linda McClure plus 9 months ago
    Hi, Brian! Those little birds are growing fast. Can't wait for them to get old enough to fly. I worry about the roadrunners and hawks that prey on little birds.

    Thanks for sharing these wonderful videos. Where are you located? I'm in Minnesota where we just had another inch of snow this spring morning. I can hardly wait for our hummingbirds to return.

    Thanks, John! I'm located in Southern California near Palm Springs.
