This year, Spring was a difficult time for me, mostly because I was losing my cat (and longtime friend), Rosie.
But the world seems to be trying all the time to remind me that life is a circle.
During the same time Rosie was slowly leaving this world, these little hummingbirds were arriving. They have been a delight I am happy to share.

That is so beautiful and amazing! I can’t believe they nested within sight, and that you were able to capture it on video. I’ve never seen baby hummingbirds before.
beautiful and amazing, exactly my thought!
wow… quite magical to see a hummingbird nest and baby hummingbirds.
very special event indeed, thanks for sharing it.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I love hummingbirds, and like most have never seen the babies. I too am amazed they let you so close and nested within sight. I wonder though if they are bolder than we think, as a couple summers ago my boyfriend and I were able to get very close to a feeder at the cabin and photograph them for quite a while. Maybe we just think they’re shy because they are so small and delicate?
That is amazing stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Cheryl: both the Hummingbirds and the Nurturance stories – outstanding – the best I’ve seen. Janice
Those babies are great and your storytelling even better.
Hey, thanks everybody. Yeah, Lorika, I don’t think they’re incredibly shy, because if I’m between them and the feeder they will buzz me. Sounds like a helicopter in your ear. The babies flew away during Pixelodeon but they must have stayed nearby because I see them at the feeder. At least I assume it is them because they are smaller than the others. Yay hummingbirds!
