Little Hummers

When we arrived home this afternoon, I looked out and thought the babies were gone. I turned to look at Mr. Fun and proclaimed, "The babies are gone!"

So he walked outside and immediately started talking to the nest. I knew then that they were still with us. It won't be long, though, and they'll be gone. These two little ones are soon going to be fighting for position in the nest; there simply is just no more room in that little twig cup.

We watched the mama swoop-in and feed these two, but she no longer resides with them. They keep each other warm, but I'm not sure how they entertain themselves while Mama is out and about. Maybe they just tell each other stories all day long.

We have enjoyed having these two begin life on our patio. Soon the nest will be empty; we'll no longer talk to it; and we'll miss them, but we'll enjoy the memory of this experience for a long time.

We are always in awe when we see a hummingbird, and now even more so.

Good night from Southern California,
Rosie (& Mr. Fun), aka Carol
