Hummingbird Mom

A friend of mine sent the following link.  It's an amazing set of pictures that shows a female hummingbird nesting on 2 eggs, the eggs hatching, the babies maturing and then leaving the nest all within a 24-day period.  If you're a nature lover, you will probably really enjoy taking a look.  My neighbor had a hummingbird nest in one of her bushes a few years ago.  It was the size of a walnut shell, just so tiny and perfect.
