2nd Hatchling Is Out

Can you tell which is the new one?

As several people commented, the second egg hatched yesterday (Sunday) early in the morning. By the time we woke up, it was already out and wanting food.

The mother is very busy as you will see. She tanks up at the feeder every few minutes throughout the day. Then she pokes that long needle of a beak down the kid’s necks for their breakfast. According to our bird book, baby hummingbirds are given regurgitated nectar and lots insects.

Enjoy watching feeding time!

Uh... The camera's out of place, just letting you know. Unless, are you experiencing with camera placement? So sorry if that's true!

Sorry - the dog hit the network cable during the day. Technical difficulties beyond our control!
