Humming bird chicks 10th day

Description

Every other day I would take the tall ladder and try to capture the evolution of these tiny twins birds. The nest was only 2" tall to give you some sense of scale. This was the 10th day after they hatched. The one on the left still has some food in its beak. New Beginnings.

It is so fascinating Emile to see these little hummers knowing that they will get really big. Well bigger anyway. What a thrill it must have been for you to witness this as the pictures for me are incredible to see. Beautiful work my friend. Know you have a lot going on. We will be here, so take care your things, always good to hear from you when you can. #11420994
