Hummingbird Nest

Early one morning last weekend I went out to check on the baby birds. I knew it was close to them flying and leaving the nest. Only one bird was left, the other one must have flown out that morning before I got out there. The bird that was left, I captured a ton of images and I'm sharing my best ones. I kept going back and forth all day trying to get it taking it's first flight but all I got are images of it testing out it's wings. At one point you'll see the mother sitting on the nest showing how it's done. The mom came and was flying around the nest and then she landed and spread her wings and flapped. The baby wasn't quite ready that day and left the next morning before I awoke.


































Even after the mom came around to show how it's done, the little baby still wasn't quite ready to leave that whole day. It kept preening and testing it's wings out. Precious.
