Sight and Sound I was watching this little hummingbird drinking sap from our birch tree yesterday, all the while thinking "hummingbird don't fly away, fly away." I think it is an Anna's hummingbird but it was hard to tell its coloring from below. It might also be a Rufous hummingbird Maybe you can decide. :) ♪ ♫ I just love you, love you, love you I don't even know the reason why ♪ ♫ Seals and Crofts from their "Summer Breeze" album (1972) Hummingbird Hummingbird Hummingbird And... If you like hummingbirds (like I do) you might like to visit my hummingbird album which follows a momma and her babies one spring in 2012 (when I was just a budding photographer.) Hummingbirds

It's been a cozy little nest, but we want out of here now. It's a big world out there and we need to see it.

It is morning and they look like they are getting ready to try out their new wings. Yay!! :)

This little Rufous hummingbird made her nest near where we park our cars. My husband just happened to spot it. She is so sweet keeping her eggs warm. :)

Here's another one of her next to a salal bush. The leaves are about 4 inches long. Yesterday it was pouring down rain and windy. Today is warm and sunny. No matter what, she sits on her eggs. I read it takes anywhere from 13 to 22 days for them to hatch. I don't know how long ago she laid them, but I will keep checking each day for her babies. Don't worry, I won't touch anything.

I swear you can see them growing!
