The hummingbird nestlings are hungry all the time and have tripled in size.
Our little baby hummingbirds are growing so fast and are now fluffy and always hungry. Mama hummingbird spends her days flying back and forth feeding them and they fill up the nest with scarcely room for her now.
Little hummingbirds almost fill up the nest but Mama still manages to squeeze herself in.

Beautiful little hummers all soft and feathery and look how they fill up the nest now.

Poolside hummingbird nest and I'm amazed at how it has survived some pretty strong winds.

Hungrily this little one opens up his beak just as it waits for some food.
I'm hoping I'll get to photograph them as they start trying their wings ready to fly.
The palm frond is sagging quite dramatically and turning yellow so it won’t last too much longer. Enough time though for these two little ones to start trying their wings. The nest has survived some brutally strong winds and rain plus a lot of sun making for a real hot spot with not enough shade. We did put up some shade cloth but after the wind ripped it down a couple of times, we just gave up.
Hoping to have more photos as the week goes on.
