Baby Huey

It seems just a little while ago that the baby hummingbird was just barely visible in the nest. Now it is practically filling the whole nest up! We've seen it preening it's feathers and get the impression that it won't be long before it starts flying (and we get possession of our patio back!)

More great pictures from budding wildlife photographer, Mrs. de-I. The baby is a lot more cooperative about staying still than the mother.

Glad to see that he (?) is doing well, especially since we just lost our 3 dove babies to the hawk.

Wow, looks like a biggin! Must just be the angle and lack of reference points. Maybe Mrs. d-I can put a ruler up there first and then take the picture. Ha!!
