I'm not your Mama!

Look at that ... they've got their mouths AND their eyes open! I took this picture this morning, while Mama Hummer was out getting breakfast. Apparently she's not spending much time in the nest these days, probably a little too crowded, with those big beaks and all. In fact, yesterday morning I hadn't seen the mama hummer,  she didn't sleep in the nest at night, causing me a bit of panic. I was thinking perhaps something had happened to her, nabbed by a cat or grabbed by one of the local kestrel's that hang around the casa. Fortunately she reappeared and is continuing to take good care of the twins. Lucky for them, I don't think I could possibly take over the feeding ... it's a full time job for her.
