You have just got to see Craig Snead's photos of the baby Hummingbirds. The video is amazing,so don't forget to click on it. I'm sure most people overlook the wonderful nests in the wild, simply because they are so small.

I am disabling comments, so be sure to go on over to the original post and give Craig a shout out for sharing this amazing little miracle with all of us.

Are You My Mother?  Hummingbird babies.

Are you my Mother?

 

 

Remember the children's book, Are You My Mother? 

A baby bird can't find it's Mother and starts wandering around asking everyone and everything from the dog, to the cat, to the airplane, to the steam shovel, "Are you my Mother?"


That was my second  thought once I realized what I was looking at.

 

 

Visiting my Dad in San Diego, I was walking by the large fern hanging near the front door when I noticed what I thought was a small wasp nest.

I brought it to his attention and that's when he told me it was a hummingbird nest. REALLY...
When they lifted their tiny heads looking to be fed, it reminded me of the book.

Now back in Michigan, we feed the hummingbirds and I've seen them flying around. At first glance, they just look like another large insect. But when they stop in flight to feed, it is such a graceful sight to see.

So we've been watching this nest for a few days and haven't seen the Mom or Dad around. My Dad said that the Mother will come back occasionally to feed her young but doesn't sit on the nest with them. And he was surprised when I told him there were two babies in there. He said that typically there's only one baby at a time.

So, I just wanted to share this rare sighting with everyone else.

As the area's ONLY Fannie Mae direct listing agent, I list more foreclosure properties than any other agent in this MLS. I am among the few local agents approved to both list and sell HUD properties.
