    I've always wanted to see baby hummingbirds. Thanks for sharing. Great pictures.

    Here is the last picture I was able to take on June 7; this was just moments before the babies took off on their maiden flight. They hung around for a day or so and we haven't seen them since.

    We got my FIL a hummingbird feeder yesterday at Lowe's for Father's Day and picked up one for ourselves as well. I think the grandkids will get a kick out of it.

    I have a feeder like Barnbum's on page 1. I've seen only two so far this year. A male and a female. It's so hot here I have to change the sugar water every other day.

    I had a feeder out, but the hummers seem to like my Rose of Sharon Bush. I see them there all the time, so put feeder away and planted another bush.
