If you have visited the Duncraft Wild Bird blog, then you most likely already know that one of the photos of the mother hummingbird, won in the hummingbird photo contest.
Since the hummingbird posed so nicely for the camera, she earned herself, along with her babies, this beautiful new hummingbird feeder.
When I got home yesterday afternoon I discovered the feeder had arrived, I can't believe how fast I got it!
They did a fantastic job of packing it, and even sent a couple boxes of nectar with it.

What perfect timing for the feeder to arrive! I think one of the baby hummers knew it was here, ok so maybe I did tell them their new feeder was here. Well one of the babies decided to start sitting on the side of the nest as soon as it heard the news. It has also been practicing flapping it's wings.
It looks kind of comfy sitting up on top of the nest. besides starting to flap it's wings it's been stretching it's beak up into the air and sticking it's tongue in and out, as if it were under a flower and sipping the nectar out, looks like it's preparing to fledge the nest soon.
Here's the other one, enjoying more space in the nest.
