We Watched A Mama Hummingbird Raise Two Babies

ADVERTISEMENT

For the past several years, a mama hummingbird (probably a Rufous or an Allen’s hummingbird) has made a nest in front of uncle Ruben’s house.

It’s been a thrill to see the little babies grow up.

All of the photos here were taken by Ruben A. Aquino and posted with his permission.

    Thanks for sharing. Can you help with the perspective of size ? ..... By holding a ruler against the nest / give us an estimate of the diameter of the nest. Thank s for sharing.
