This is an update on my previous "nesting hummingbird" post.
As is obvious there are two hatchlings in the nest.
Mission accomplished! :):

    Just amazing. How wonderful to witness this in real life and be able to take photos to let us join you.

    Thanks!

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Love the catch lights in their eyes. Nice smooth background. I'm amazed that you were able to get a clear shot when they usually hide their nest deep inside a tree or bush. Very good stealth work.clap.gif

    Tha nest was actually well hidden close to lots of foot traffic. Very few people that frequent the area actually noticed it. Luckily it was on a low hanging branch and not too inaccessable to my camera.
