So, I bet you're wondering what happened to our little hummingbirds? Well, they indeed flew away. We saved the nest and we hope to make a little book all about the baby hummingbirds on our back patio. As soon as the babies began to outgrow the nest, they would try to stand on the edge of the nest and practice flapping their wings. They only did this a few times before they were gone. I'm so glad I was home to capture it. They stayed close by for the first 24 hours or so before flying away with mom. I captured a picture of one of the babies up in the tree along our fence and a little later perched on our bird of paradise. It was quite an amazing thing to behold.

What a delightful piece of spring and summer you got to experience. It is pretty rare that you get to see baby birds up close and personal like that.
