Beware pointy objects

Broad-tailed hummer babies have grown – and their beaks are sharper as well. Both mom and babies have to be careful. The nest is in a tall Blue Spruce tree.

Broad-tailed hummer nest

Broad-tailed hummers hide their nests well. This one is in a large blue spruce – and the nest is hard to see even when knowing where it is. The two babies are about 20 days old in this photo.

I’m hungry and grumpy – where’s Mom?!

The nest is about 10 feet above ground in a 35′ Blue Spruce in Evergreen, CO at about 7500′ in elevation. The babies are about 15 days old (m/l) at this point in time. Canon 6D at 400mm.
