Baby Hummingbird

The first baby hummingbird hatched out yesterday and is as tiny as the size of the egg.
The baby hummingbird has dark skin with what looks like tiny yellow strands of hair on its back. The eyes are still closed and it has a short yellow beak.

Eighteen days later, our baby hummingbird has gained weight and put on real feathers. Its eyes are wide opened, its beak is much longer and darker.

Baby hummingbird left the nest for the first time. Realizing it had some difficulties flying back to its nest, we carefully picked it up and placed it back into the nest. I am sure its mother was grateful.
