A Hidden Surprise

One day, in the coldest part of December, I looked out my window and noticed a tiny nest in my front yard tree. It was so tiny, and well hidden because my tree had many nuts hanging on it that looked just like the nest.

Take a look!

I peeked in side and I saw two tiny eggs

Take a look!

Then I noticed the mama bird, a tiny hummingbird, come and sit in the nest.

Take a look!

Then I saw the hatched babies!

Take a look!

And over the next four weeks, they grew up into healthy hummingbirds.

Take a look!

Until one day they couldn't fit in the nest any more.

Take a look!

All grown up, they flew away. Bye little friends!
