Allen's Hummingbird Nestlings Week 2 of 2022

This is week 2 of my observation of Allen's Hummingbird nestlings. Here are some images I got of the mom and her two beautiful nestlings. Their eyes are still closed but will open any day now.

Have a super week everyone!

Allen's Hummingbird Hatchlings in 2022

This story is amazing. Last year in April, a female Allen's Hummingbird made a nest next to my friend's dining room window giving me a great chance to feature the egg-to-fledgling story. Today, Mark called and said that the same female hummer has been sitting on her new nest and that there may be new hatchlings in the nest. I hurried over with my camera and found the female hummer in her new nest. It is located about 15 feet from Mark's dining room window! I just sat at the dining table and clicked away. The nest is in the shadow and I am shooting through a sliding glass door. I waited quite a while before I finally got some shots of the hatchlings. From the looks of the two poo stuck to the side of the nest, I think they were just hatched in the last 24 hours. After she settled to brood, I quietly stepped outside to get one clear shot as not to stress her. She was calm and looked very content with her new nestlings tucked under her. I hope to get more photos soon.
