Mom is back brooding the chicks .. no feeding this time

Yes there are big differences every day now. For one thing, I have started calling them Pip and Squeak. In yesterday's HD video, you can see little Pip's tongue and you can actually see Fluff's tongue pushing the food down her beak for Pip. You can see some still's on my facebook page hummingbirds up close. It's getting fascinating now.

Good Morning Eric... i am not a member of face book...
