Not much new to report this morning other than I am beginning to see a change in the feathers of the two young Ruby-throated Hummingbirds. Look at the difference in feather density and coloration between today and 4 days ago – the day 10 June 16 blog. The female was feeding them at about 40 minute intervals. I do not see her as aggressively pumping her body to regurgitate food, so maybe she is now bringing tiny insects to them. In a week they should be fledged!

Wonderful. I still can't find any nests but they come to the feeder.
