Fluff feeds her chicks

Fluff, an Anna’s Hummingbird, feeds her chicks shortly after they hatched. The chicks are about the size of raisins and require gentle feeding every half hour or so to ensure they grow into young healthy birds.

Leaf and Petal Share a Moment

I was filming an Anna’s Hummingbird nest for several weeks and just before the chicks fledged, Leaf put a wing around Petal as if to offer encouragement for the big adventure ahead.
