Hummingbird feeding chicks

Hummingbird nests are nearly invisible because they're so small - no bigger than an egg cup - and camouflaged so effectively.
This one is in one of our apple trees & I was lucky to catch the moment. The picture shows it very much enlarged -

That is so beautiful. Not something you'd see every day, or any day, really!

Thank you for this picture. I can't even imagine how tiny the chicks are, to have so many of them in the (probably) thimble-sized nest...

Outstanding Herb, simply outstanding...
Remember, no red dye and no honey; not good for our birds...

Thatis a very nice photo of Hummingbirds feeding their young. Something you don't always see.
