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

i read about their trip over the ocean.. to go to warmer weather.. it is a incredible trip for such tiny birds.. hard to believe they could make it.

i don't think hideous is the right description.. fragile and weak and bare..

Awesome.
My Grandmother was obsessed with hummingbirds. Every window in her house had a feeder hanging. I used to sit and watch whole groups of them hover around and take turns drinking.
