I love the way the adult bird bobs its whole body from side to side when it's on the nest, as if it can barely stand to sit still :) Lovely video and music, you're a true artist.
Wow, what a wonderful sequence of shots. Great job! Thanks for posting and I enjoyed this video. I am impressed with your patience and your ability to capture such clarity on those tiny babies.
There are many resources, here on the web, such as the National Audubon Society, and they recommend keeping the feeders up during winter, it helps the birds north of your location, which may winter in your area. You can help them survive.
at 4:20 I believe I answered my first question! Yes Red Bud Tree.
Questions.. regarding the tree the hummers are nesting in. Could this be an Eastern Red Bud Tree? (I believe it is by the seeds pods, however the leaf is normally heart shaped with the wind blowing I can not be certain.
One other question, the nest's height above the ground in feet please.
Yes, it's a Red Bud tree. I extended the camera over my head to shoot this at nest level from a second floor window so the nest is about 12-13 feet off the ground. The birds at the end of the video at the feeder and in the tree are the babies right before the left that September.
be sure not to feed sugar-water to your birds it will kill them. The nectar in the humming bird packets sold at the store works just fine......

I love hummingbirds! Someone told me I need to take my feeder down in September. I live in North Carolina. Do you know if this is true?

Thank you, for the valued information!
Is 12-15ft above the ground avg nesting height?
Ruby Throated Hummers only species in my area.
Hopefully this season I'll get to "see" a nest in the wild.
we had 30+ hummers at 3 different feeders under my carport in a line 5ft apart.
I'd love to have a possible correlation regarding the diameter of their nests?.. ie quarter, golf ball, baseball etc.
Thanks again!
