Hummingbird babiesSaturday there was one egg hatched into an ugly little gray bundle of fuzz that was a hummingbird chick.  I didn’t look yesterday, Sunday, to see if the other egg had hatched.  I did notice that the mother bird was sitting on the nest whenever I looked at it. Today I looked and found that the other little egg had hatched.  The nest was full of gray fuzz...breathing, throbbing, alive.  I wish all human mothers could be as committed to the welfare of their babies, children of all ages, as this little mother bird.  All through the afternoon she left the nest occasionally to stick her long bill into the bright flowers in the back yard.  She came back over and over to feed the babies.  Wow!  LIFE is good.
