We braved the wind and cold (62°F) and went to Boyce Thompson Arboretum to check on the baby Anna's Hummingbirds I got pictures of last week. They are much bigger and it looks like they're starting to grow some feathers. Momma isn't sitting on the nest as much. We watched her feed then come back in to feed the ravenous babies.
My hubby took these pics (If I ever want to use my camera again, I have to buy him one or pry mine out of his cold dead hands).

Nice shots, Tammie! (I'm guessing that you were born in the late '50?) :)

Darn, what gave me away? Yup, I was born in Hawaii before it became a state.

Marvelous! With pics like these, this place is better than National Geographic!

Too funny, PhotosGuy. My dad liked the name after seeing the movie, but my mom changed the spelling.
Thanks for the kind words everyone!
