Baby ruby throated hummingbirds started coming to the feeder in the last ten days - there is no other way to say it - they are soooooo cute! They are slightly smaller than the adults and their bodies are slimmer. The adults land at the feeder exactly at the right spot to poke their beaks into the feeder hole but the babies don't get it quite right. They land on the feeder bar and then have to scooch over a tad to get their beak in the hole. One we were watching last night kind of leaned to the side to get his (or her) beak into the nectar.

Well, come on! They'll be here for another 6 weeks or so.

I love hummingbirds. I wish I were there to see them too.
