Thanks for all the comments. It would be great if I had found the nest with the babies. Maybe next year.

That's awesome! It would be awesome to see young hummingbirds, and even cooler if you could manage to find the tiny nest to see the little babies!

Thanks Ashley. The young have fledged and are coming to the feeders now.
