    They have itty bitty feathers! I wonder if those grew since they hatched, or if they just weren't apparent at first.

    I think they're Rufous Hummingbirds. Mama seems to have that coloration when she lands where you can see color on her other than green.

    she's actually a non-migrating Channel Islands Allen's Hummingbird, hence the name "Phoebe Allens"

    Phoebe's Facebook page has great video of Phoebe feeding her babies.

    They are growing very fast.

    OMG, I tuned in as she was feeding them! So far, I saw one hatch, and now the feeding. Cool! They are getting bigger, but I guess that's relative.

    The kids are huge! They barely fit in the nest.

    The estimated fledge date is 2/8 - 2/18. I will be surprised if they stay in the nest another two weeks.

    Wow! I have not looked in about a week. They sure have gotten big! Every once in a while you see one of their long tongues dart out or they practice furiously beating their wings.
