Mother hummer and her babies ~

What a rare gift to see ~ here is a mother hummingbird tending to her newborn babies. To give you a sense of scale, the eggs of a hummingbird are about the size of a jellybean. The nests are TINY and virtually invisible to anyone without a trained eye. Please join me in thanking Tucson photographer and artist Cita Scott for sharing these remarkable, beautiful photos with us! To view her artwork, click here.

  2. Gorgeous! Thank you Cita Scott! It looks like you had to climb up pretty high to get those shots of babies inside the nest, well done :-) ...in that first picture, it looks like the nest has some pasta pieces around the outside! Mama hummer looks so proud.
