Darn for me, because I have been enjoying this thread, but great for the little guy.

Part of me is pleased that it's so grown up now. Part of me is sad to lose the experience of seeing such a fascinating series of pictures. Web cam for next year? :D

Me too!
I've been obsessed over this entire experience since I saw her start to build the nest at the start of May. The best is the mom doesn't even flinch when she sees me.
I can water out there with her being a foot from me.
Husband says a webcam too-I agree!

Baby left the nest and moved 5 feet to our palm tree that is right outside our window.
The obsession continues ;) ...

Thank you so much for sharing all these pictures.

My family and I have been following this family's progress with fascination. I am a keen bird watcher and so jealous it's untrue :D

Even more awesome when you gave us the size perspective.

Thank you for all the pics. I got to show them to my mother yesterday, she lives out of state. She loves humming birds, her fave and has many in the summer months. She loved the pics, thought it was amazing.

Last pictures...
Mom hummingbird hasn't been at the nest for a week now. She also hasn't been flying around when I walk by, so I know the little egg is a no go. It's really windy today, so I removed it before it blows out, as her first egg did just that-sad.
Anyway, here are some perspective pics of the tiny egg...
