Here's a neat series of webpages that show a mother hummingbird and her little nest of babies

Humming birds are just so great.

This is so cool. Thanks.

I don't know if you noticed the bald eagle nest that was on cam with the eggs hatching, they turned off the cameras, as both eggs did not hatch. They suspect either pollution Wacko

or the couple were getting too old for the reasons the eggs didn't hatch. I really did enjoy watching the nest and saw both eggs and birds, while they were 'laying' off duty on each other (exchanging sitting on the eggs). I understand both the bald eagles and the loon will pair up for life. It's really amazing to watch them switch places to lay on the eggs. The care that they take with fluffing up the nest again. Mary
