Near as we can figure, that hummingbird probably started nest construction while we were out in the desert, round about the weekend of April 20-21. Not sure, 'cause we didn't even see the nest (despite the fact that it was on the lamp chain near the front door) until sometime later that week. Didn't think there were any hummie kids in that nest either - they were real quiet and their mom was never around. Then a couple of weeks ago they started getting big and on Monday - Memorial Day - they just up and moved out. Gotta admit I was expecting a little more practise flying and whatnot, but no - bam, they were gone. Down below is the runt lookin' around a little before making his move. Ain't been back since. Good luck and god's speed, little hummies.
