Description These 2 baby hummingbirds were born in a nest only inches from my door. I was able to watch the whole process from nest building to when the 2 birds took flight. Pretty amazing

thanks very much, glad you like it. they both actually flew away right after this picture, & unfortunately they don't return to their nest. But it was wonderful watching the whole process right out my door.

We've never had to them to build around our home, but then again, we've only been here for almost two years. Nice picture!
