    Me and my buddy Alex decided to do some BBQ on our backyard on Treasure Island.

    And suddenly we heard some weird sound, like a tiny helicopter, we looked around and we see:

    We waited till bird gets off to take a close look at the nest. They were 2 little guys there, next second I see mom right next to my head getting nervous, so I took a pic, and left them alone.

    Awesome! I take pics of hummingbirds every year in our backyard. I would LOVE to find a nest...however, that would require a tree LMAO.

    that's sweet;D, if you got a good camera some long distance pics over time as the babes grow older would be really amazing.
