Our little baby Flew the Coop

Check out our cute little hummingbird! He's just a baby. His little nest is right outside our front door, under our entryway. We were wondering for a while why a hummingbird kept hovering by our front door. Eventually, we noticed this tiny little nest - about 2 inches in diameter - up on my twigs by the ceiling. Obviously, the bird thought this was a great place to lay eggs. And within a few days, we noticed a little beek peaking out! SOOO Cute! We hardly saw the mommy after that, in fact, we thought the baby was going to starve. But then one morning we came out, and the baby wasn't there. Then Keith looked above the entryway, and...
there it was! It sat there for a minute, then flew a few feet at a time, going back and forth to the raingutter, and then it flew off! It was so cute to see his first flight off into the big world!Good luck little Hummingbird!

That is so cute! I think it is cool to have a little bit of the discovery channel in your own yard.
