I am sure that hatching eggs comes with its own set of problems. After sitting on her nest for some time, this little Allens Hummingbird flew to a nearby branch and had a long stretch. She then flew off to return a few minutes later and begin hatching once again.

Wowzer. Momma must have left the nest for a bit. She must have needed to visit the powder room. Great action shot Garrett.

That is the best shot of a humming bird I have ever seen. You must have really cranked up the iso on that one. Great colors and action. Faved.

So delightful, Garrett, the way you explained this! Totally precious. You ol' soft you!! I love all three photos. And, hopefully you will be able to see the "little ones" when they too will begin to fly...can you take a photo showing more as to what size they are? Thank you for all your wonderful photos, they are true treasures. Verena

Nice! This little bird looks like (she?) has a very large agenda.. of the aggressive sort. Well captured.
