First Flight

I said good morning to our little hummingbird friend this morning as I left for work. If you've been following along with my blog for the last few weeks you'll remember a pair of hummingbirds built a nest on a branch right outside our front door. When I got home in the evening last night the bird had taken his first flight.

We set up a feeder in our front yard in February and we've seen the hummingbirds drinking from it. Hopefully they'll stick around. And I hope more hummingbirds take up residence in the now vacant nest.

It's quite unbelievable how fast hummingbirds mature. I just checked my photos and this chick still had pin feathers only 10 days ago! (check back to my March 7 post)
