Unfortunately our hummingbirds didn't make it. The mother abandoned the nest a week ago so yesterday Jeremy took down the Christmas lights and removed the nest with the 2 little eggs still in it. A funny sidenote - as Jeremy was taking down the lights, our neighbor across the street yelled over, "What's the point? You're gonna have to put them back up in 3 months!"
To our happy surprise, the robin's eggs DID hatch and it was sooner than expected. :) We have been keeping watch on our baby birds in the nest. Jeremy found the baby birds within a day of them hatching because he checks them often. The kids have had a lot of fun looking at the birds. I'm glad we could see them before our trip.
