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"

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.

The "fledge watch" officially begins today. The kids are preening like crazy. Getting ready for the big event, I suppose.
