Mother hummingbirds bring their chicks up to our patio soon after the chicks are able to leave the nest. The chicks hang around, observing but not participating in the normal hummingbird feuds on the patio (Anna’s Hummingbirds are fiercely territorial). For some reason the young birds often sit on flat surfaces, something the adults almost never do. The young also spend much of the day napping, like this guy, about three days out of the nest.
I have always loved your photographs of these amazing little birds. I love seeing them seeing them so still!
