Babies!

Over the last month I've been posting about the Humming Bird nest that is in a rhododendron tree in my yard. I've taken a few photographs of momma bird tending to the eggs and over this last week they have hatched.

I have been very careful not to disturb the nest or the mother bird in fear she may leave the nest and no come back. I've bee shooting with a longer lens to allow me to stay away but still capture some images.

The pair of baby birds are so tiny, smaller than a dime. The mother bird is continually feeding them and hovering around the nest. It so cool to see the progression of life so far and I'm so excited to watch the birds grow up and take their first flight.

This was the last image I captures of the mother a few days before the eggs hatched.

Thanks for reading and have a great Monday everyone.
