Working on getting some close in shots of a couple of different hummingbirds that seem much less skittish than in the past. This one is a super fat almost half red hbird. Really quite a different looking one to what we normally have around here. Wonder if it is pregnant?
King of Acapulco Gold - perfect watch out point on the highest tip of all my plants with the exception of Some Like It Hot.

Finally some good close up shots - too bad this one is not colorful but still such fun to watch!

Apparently hibiscus are not just hummingbird attractors but hummingbird habitat...I discovered this today in my Valentine's Day plant.
Romantic hummingbirds - I love them even more. Remarkable!

Hummingbirds do everything fast - the eggs have already hatched!
Awesome!

Day 2 of the hibiscus hummingbird chicks - sleeping away! From what I am learning this won't be for long as they get fed regurgitated insects and nectar every 20 minutes.

Well, blow me over with a feather! Amazing, Darren. I've seen hundreds of hummingbirds among our hibiscus over the years but never the chicks in their nest.

Day 5 of the hibiscus humming bird chicks.
It is interesting how they move their waste out of the nest. You can see it on the left side getting ready to fall over.

Day 6 for the hibiscus hummingbird chicks. They are moving around more and looks like their eyes are close to opening.

It is getting more cozy in that nest. Lots of lawn gnats now so momma can feed them tons of regurgitated insects and nectar.
