The two hummingbird babies of Nest 1 are growing up! At around 14 days old, they are beginning to fill the nest and are starting to look like birds.They have about a week until they start flying, and we'll keep you updated on their progress. Take a look at the pictures showing their growth!

Hummingbirds use energy at extremely high rates due to their small size and high metabolism. They must conserve energy by going into nightly torpor, drastically dropping their metabolic rate and body temperature. We aim to quantify the energetics associated with nesting female hummingbirds using thermal imaging. We predict that in order to incubate their eggs well, they will rarely use torpor. This has important implications for understanding how animals cope with extreme energetic requirements.
