    Those are great pics. I would love to see the babies. The cotton lining in the nest is too soft.

    I find it amazing how something so small can survive and fledge. The babies look so tiny and vulnerable but mum certainly did a terrific job of lining the nest to keep them both warm. :stew1:

    Hummingbird photos

    How fun to see the photos and how difficult it must have been to find the nest! Thanks for sharing!

    That is precious. It is hard to believe that something so small can survive in this great big world. Thanks for sharing. ;)

    very cool. we had a robins nest outfront of our window, I never got picts. Didn't want the mother swooping down at me. But its great to watch from eggs to baby birds till they actually fly off on thier own. Thanks for sharng.
