The Birth of a Hummingbird

[Red Devil]

For all the bird lovers out there. I just could not resist posting this up

Birth of a Hummingbird


Keep in mind the egg is smaller than a tic tac and a quarter fits the opening of the nest!
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.

It took 24 days from birth to flight. Because you'll probably never in your lifetime see this again, enjoy; and please share this experience.

when i was in middle school, there was a hummingbird nest in the backyard. i've seen babies before. it's amazing how the mother will not fly away if you walk up nice and slowly

i even was able to reach and touch her tail before she flew. they are soooo tiny. i remember the days where hummingbirds were so plentiful here. now they are such a rare sight. its' sad
