The momma bird sits quietly and patiently on her eggs waiting for them to hatch. She was not distracted by her duty as life passed below her.
The tiny nest sits in the center of 4 branches. I was afraid a strong wind would topple it to the ground, but momma has more experience than me in building nests.

oh wow, gorgeous shot of the hummingbird up there, and hope you will be able to capture the babies also, it must be a joy to be chosen by a hummingbird to nest in your backyard.
ReplyDeletebetchai: I guess we are fortunate to have this happen right in our yard. Don't have to travel far to see nature in action.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping the same.
ReplyDeleteThey must be very cute.
great sequence of shots. i look forward to seeing those baby birds too.
ReplyDeleteNow that's very rare! I hope those eggs hatch healthily :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen a hummingbird yet. It looks different from other birds. You're lucky to have discovered its nest. Beautiful and vivid shots.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures! I really love hummingbirds. You got every kind of picture I like with a bird.
