Birth of Hummingbirds

BIRTH OF A HUMMINGBIRD

This is truly amazing. Be sure to click on NEXT PAGE at the bottom of each page; there are 5 pages in all. 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.

The photography is wonderful.

I had the opportunity to get a series too - I'll have to look for some. I have the mom feeding the baby too, and them practicing to leave the nest. I got video also, and even captured one baby leaving the nest for the first time. It was really amazing.
