The babies are gone. RIP D&B. I am so sad. They should not have left the nest so early. I think they got eaten. My heart is broken.

Yes, the babies are hatched. I think they hatched yesterday since I saw the mom sitting on the edge the of nest for a while. So yesterday is day 1. At 16 days old, the young are well-feathered and begin to beat their wings while hanging on to the nest to avoid being lifted off. So June 5th, they will be 16 days old.
They leave when 21 - 25 days old. So between June 10th and June 14th, they will fly away.

TWO EGGS!!! We got two hummingbird eggs in the nest. The mom is already incubating the eggs since yesterday. Incubation period takes 17-22 days. So assuming that she started incubation somewhere from April 30th to May 4th, the incubation should end somewhere from May 21st to May 25th. I pray that we will see the two babies.
