Saga of Black-Chinned Hummingbird Nest #4

What a wonderful surprise greeted me this morning ... the second egg produced a hatchling. That is 5 or 6 days later than the first. I'm not as knowledgeable of hummingbirds as I would like to be, but that seems like a long time between the two. If you know more, I'd like to hear.
I had taken about 10 to 12 photos before I caught a glimpse of the second little one. What a great way to start the day.

Really great images. The 2nd chick may get pushed from the nest or possibly the long time between hatchings is a survival trait in case the 1st chick does not survive. Maybe someone here knows.

Such a treat to see these. Great bird scenes we don't normally get to see, and really well executed technically.
