If you think it's hard to see the baby hummingbird, please know that, though Ken always could point it out, I never did see it on my own. And taking photos, I was shooting at a broad area and figured I'd find it when I came inside to go through the pictures! It was still a challenge! Even close up, that baby knows how to look like one of the twigs!
For fun I'll post a photo on my extras page and you'll see what I mean. No need to comment, but understand that if the mother didn't fly to the nest, we'd never notice.
@domenicododaro Wow, Domenico! Not even at a zoo? This time of year (a little earlier) we just sit in the yard, and though the hummers are tiny, their movements are eye-catching. We watch where they go into the trees, follow and look, and it's usually Ken who finds the nest first...they don't make it easy!
I've always wondered if they ever get tired of looking up. Mine are always in that same position....but with the mouth open waiting for mama to come and....well, you know.
@stray_shooter We went in when Mama wasn't around, and it's amazing that instinct seems to have them looking like their surroundings...but how do they know???!
@golftragic Thanks, Marnie! Always a team effort...even more so now than ever!
