Faith—the Ruby-throated Hummingbird Warming Her Babies
Judy Royal Glenn Photography
I am so excited to introduce
everyone to Faith, a momma ruby-throated hummingbird, at the State Botanical Garden of
Georgia in Athens. Wow, what a day it has been! I was able to video Faith, our ruby-throated hummingbird, flying up to her nest and then feeding her babies. The babies are tiny right now but they can be seen on the video a little as she feeds them.
A little background story: I researched and designed the Hummingbird Trail at the State botanical Garden of Georgia which opened in 2014. Friday, I spoke to a group of people
about hummingbirds for Friends First Friday. When the presentation was over, I
took a group of people out to view the Hummingbird Trail. A hummingbird
hovering in the tree greeted us. One of the attendees noticed her lay on her
nest.
Today, I met with the Lee
and A.J. from the Athens Banner-Herald. An article will be in the paper June
10, 2015. While we were there, quite a few people were coming out to see Faith. The
word is getting around!
I took my camera and video
taped her flying to the nest then feeding her babies. I am also posting a video
of her sitting on her nest keeping the babies warm. Hopefully, I will be
videotaping her a lot. Stay tuned:)
I will also be posting
photographs of the babies when they get big enough. Follow and "like"
my Facebook photography page to see those photos!
