Patti...I have a lot of hummer babies...and they are tiny!
I'd say it was a baby.

Buckle up! It makes it harder for the aliens to suck you out of your car!

Another missed "Kodak Moment" and what a great subject that would have been. I've never seen a baby one so I can only imagine how excited you were. ![[Wink]](im/wink.gif)

God gave us memories so we can have roses in the winter.

there are 338 species of hummers. The smallest {{get this}} is called a bumblebee hummingbird, I think its only 1" to 1 1/2" long. The largest is 7 1/2" long. Baby birds are the same or very close to the same size as an adult bird by the time they fledge the nest. I have had people SwEaR that hummingbird moths are baby hummingbirds. NOT!

P.S. I'm not doubting your baby. Especially since you heard the hummmmm. The moths are noiseless. Cool, but noiseless. ![[grin]](im/graemlins/grinnnn.gif)

Here's a pic of the aforementioned moth I took last year. It's called a Snowberry Clearwing Hummingbird Moth. It's a member of the Sphinx Moth family.

I always get a lot of Hummers, but I have never seen one this small! It really was no bigger than a bumble bee! Was this a baby Hummer or are there some Hummingbirds that are this tiny?
