Hummingbirds Test Their Wings

This is how looked after only a few short weeks from hatching. Look how perky and bright eyed they are!

Then one morning there were two, then an hour later just one baby remained.

We were happy to see the two babies perched nearby in the persimmon tree. They are watching their mother fly swiftly amongst the branches.
