Even though it’s been more than a year, I would still like to wrap it up. I would like to report that in spite of the one very active chick and the worry about him propelling himself out of the nest, both chicks fledged successfully. The active one left on July 12 followed a day or two by the quieter one. A couple days later, I had a special unforgettable moment when I saw the Li’l Mama and both chicks at the back feeder. It was neat to watch as the chicks were hesitant, not knowing quite what to do. Here are the chicks just before the first one left the nest. Aren’t they handsome!!
The day the first chick fledged.
The next photo shows just how small the nest is.
The nest is so small.
We were very disappointed that no nests were built on our front porch in 2012 — this in spite of much flying around the supports, occasionally sitting on them, and even depositing a little nesting material. We can always hope for next year!!

Better late than never. It’s amazing that they ever fit in the nest. I am happy that you got to see them all together at your feeder. I was disappointed when you didn’t report a new batch. But as you said, one can always hope for the next year. Thanks for finishing this tale. 🙂
How wonderful that you got around to wrapping up your Yearly event with the Hummingbirds. I don’t recall you having ever captured such a beautiful shot. And wow, I can’t believe how small the nest is. It is beyond my imagination to understand how small these birds are.
Love seeing the babies in the nest! What a wonderful nursery your back porch has become!
