A delightful video from one of our local birders who has been watching and recording a hummer nest.
The first chick sits by the nest, says "bye" to it's sibling, and takes off.
The second chick, still in the nest, is nudged repeatedly by mom to take it's first flight.

Thanks for the link, Sandy! Observing nature is the best "reality show" as far as I'm concerned. :smile:
