We have baby birds!

After faithfully sitting on her nest for 16 days, Honey is now the proud mommy of two tiny hummingbirds!




Honey has been a good little mommy, sitting on the birds to keep their body temperature regulated (which is necessary for about a week after they are born), and feeding them regularly.

Here she is at meal time.

We leave for vacation on Sunday, and I bet by the time we get back, they'll look pretty different. They have quite a way to go to look like their mother, don't they!

Thanks for the update!! It's so special to see the miracle on your back porch. I bet the boys are excited. Any names for the new babies?
