More shots of the
hummingbird nest in this tree in our condo complex. Here the two newborns await the return of their mother.
There's Dolores!
It's feeding time.
She is not exactly gentle, but it appears they can handle it.
In case you're wondering, those dark spots on the leaves are... what you think they are. According to World of Hummingbirds, the babies are born nest-trained (so to speak); they won't do that in the nest.
If you're wondering how they're safe when mom isn't around, here's a wide shot of the tree. Can you spot the nest?
