This was a female hummingbird that made a nest in my neighbors yard and hatched two eggs (only one baby made it)

Nic Pic's - we have a hum-feeder just outside the kitchen window and enjoy it a lot.

WOW, Kewl. Don't see many hummingbirds down here in Houston. I thought I saw one here once, but it was just a big flying roach.

wow. That's incredible--very nice pics! My grandmother has several hummingbird feeders at her place, and I was always amazed by those birds as a kid.

Thank you for the complements. It is cool seeing them go from egg to bird. Here is a picture of the two babies in another nest about ready to leave (they did about 5 minutes after I took this picture).
