A friend sent me this.

For all of you critter lovers
BIRTH OF A HUMMINGBIRD

Keep in mind the egg is smaller than a tic tac and a quarter fits the opening of the nest!
This is truly amazing.
Be sure to click on NEXT PAGE at the bottom of each page; there are 5 pages in all.
A lady found a hummingbird nest and got pictures all the way from the egg to leaving
the nest. It took 24 days from birth to flight. Because you'll probably never in your
lifetime see this again, enjoy; and please share.
