We've Got Each Other 138 (6) (WS)

A brother and sister Rufous Hummingbird chicks.

 

I had planned to continue uploading and catching up with your shots after I uploaded the previous owl shot, but a number of nature/photography 'miracles' happened, including this one.

 

A photographer friend of mine notified me as to the location of this nest site. (His name is Terry Venables and his blog is located here: www.NaturalImagesCanada.ca/blog He is nature photographer that specializes in hummingbirds).

 

A video/photographic amalgamation has been made of the first day I spent at the nest when the chicks were three days away from fledging, and can be view on my YouTube channel here: youtu.be/4jh8G1U1Ztk It showcases the juxtaposition of chicks at relative rest and the frenzy of activity that occurs seconds after feeding.

 

Needless to say, with the juggle of life being challenging enough, I utilized every spare hour to spend some quiet time with these two before they left. (I haven't even had the time to look at most of my images!).

 

This week, I also received my 2 part-time jobs back, it's my husbands birthday tomorrow, my daughter is graduating next week, and I begin to realize, that though I miss you, my friends on Flickr, I will most likely have to wait till the dust settles to catch up.

 

I look forward to it! In the meantime, please have patience with me, until then... :)
