Rufous Hummingbird Babe (Selasphorus Rufus)

Taken at the mega-secret location.

It appears that only one of the two eggs was fertile. I believe this is a little male and this photo shows his pin feathers starting to emerge from their sheaths two days later.

I can only imagine that finding a hummingbird nest is a difficult task to begin with, and then to get close enough to capture a photo like this, must have taken an incredible amount of stealth and patience,. This is so incredible in the large size, that I was amazed at the detail of this little guy!

Congratulations this photo has just received the
"cRAzy aBoUT naTurE" administrator's Award.
Because this is such an excellent photo you
don't need to wait to see if you receive 5 awards
to be promoted to our awards group.
