Hummingbird, part II

Following up on the previous post, here's the hummingbird's nest a little over two weeks later.
What's this? The nest is unattended but there's only fuzz where the eggs were.
No, wait! That fuzz is the baby hummingbirds. They've hatched!
The babies get fed from their mother (Dolores).Their eyes aren't open yet at this point, so they just open their mouths when they sense she's returned.
She really gets her beak down their throats.
