Hummingbird Huntress

The two fledglings are getting very big. They're climbing out of the nest and are working their wings. They will probably be leaving any day now.

Wife has picked up her photo activities and hopefully she'll send me some more shots to post.

Mama bird is not happy about Wife's attentions and tends to buzz her when she is visible. She even knows when Wife is in the kitchen on the other side of the screen door. On Sunday after she had chased Wife off. Wife went to read in her chair in the living room. Mama bird proceeded to fly to the window, check on Wife's whereabouts, before proceeding to feed the fledglings. Funny.

I hope she gets some more shots (and remains unharmed in the process!)

What a violent little creature! Looking forward to the pictures, though.

mom needs to watch out she doesn't get on the bad hummingbird list. What if they have suicide hummingbird?
