Saturday.  Again today I’ve watched the nest, and I’ve been wrong again.  I must have miscounted.  By my reckoning the older bird was born 21 days ago today.  Three weeks of nesting doesn’t match what I learned on the Internet.  At the end of the day, the two baby hummingbirds are still settled in the nest.  They obviously like being close together.  The smaller one snuggles up close to the older sibling.  The Mother bird comes to feed the two of them.  She seems not to be encouraging either of them to leave the nest.  I’ll continue to watch the rest of the day.  I’m beginning to think they don’t want to leave the nest.
