Great stuff @Matt . Are you checking daily on them? Are they one day old hatchlings?

[Matt]

Yes and yes.  The mom is still cautious of us but has gotten to the point where she will come back when we’re sitting under the canopy and we can watch her feed them. Sudden movements spook her so no pics unfortunately.

Great post @Matt !

Hope you get to see their first flight attempt. I’ve never seen those first lessons with hummingbirds. With most birds it is reduced to a a jump off a perch, a few wing flaps, followed by a rough glide and landing. Can’t imagine how hummingbirds do it…seems that if they aren’t able to get their wings whirring at the first go, they will go down like a little rock!

Let us know how it goes.

[Matt]

We’re keeping an eye out.
