The Birth of a Hummingbird - Amazing!

This is truly amazing. To view these amazing photographs click on: http://community-2.webtv.net/Velpics/HUM/
Be sure to click on NEXT PAGE at the bottom of each page. There are 5 pages in all containing 17 photographs. A lady found a hummingbird nest and got this series of photographs all the way from the egg to the young leaving the nest. It took 24 days to complete the process from birth to flight. Because you'll probably never in your lifetime see this again, enjoy.
