Hummingbird Nest 2012

A big wide world out there

The last feeding I observe.

Maturing slowly

July 19

Calliope Hummingbird gathering bugs for chicks, Flathead Lake, Montana.

July 12: At least one egg! If the nest is about an inch in diameter, the egg is about 1/4 inch!

More and more feathers coming in

Tiny feathers are appearing on the little faces.

And discover that these little tiny beings can lift their teensy buts up high enough to poop outside the nest.
