My wife and I have had a feeder for years and I have tried various means of filming hummingbirds with mixed success. Until yesterday, though, I have never been able to get two birds in one shot. As most of you probably know, they are very intolerant of other birds coming to "their" honeypot. In this case, the bird on the right (I am fairly sure) is the offspring of the female on the left. Young birds have a certain look to them; a little disheveled in appearance, but their feathers are nice and vibrant and fresh. Over the next few days, I will post a couple more pictures.
