Anna's Hummingbird Brood

The hummingbird flew off the nest when I arrived mid-morning.
I photographed her chicks then awaited her return.
Her chicks are significantly bigger over the last 24 hours.
On her return she hovered and carefully observing me, as I leaned against a nearby tree trunk, then lightly touched down on the edge of her nest.
She built the marvelous nest and will raise these two chicks entirely on her own strength and skills.
