| These 2 little babies are about 8 - 9 days old (at the time of the picture...May 30). Nest is in my MILs rose bush. Fun to watch : )
I've added a link below to my other post where you can see the mother and the eggs. Wonder when they will begin to fly?

| Great pics!!! Thanks for posting 'em!! I think they leave the nest at about 21 days old, give or take a few days. |

| ctnchpr - Thank you for letting me know that they will be leaving their nest at about 21 days old. We will miss them : ( How likely is it that this female hummingbird will return to the same nest next year (or whenever she has more eggs)? - Laurie |

| I could be wrong about this, but I don't think they reuse their nests. |
