We saw that yesterday. They seem to go roughly after every other feeding. Thanks for posting (or reposting) the link Deb. It's fascinating to see how the little ones live and grow. Now I understand why we have so many more birds here at the end of the season than the beginning. They reproduce faster than bunnies. 
For those of us east of the Mississippi - set out at least one feeder a month before you normally would. The ruby throats are starting their migration earlier than usual.
I have to tell this on myself. I checked the site about 6 AM yesterday and saw nothing but black. At first I thought the webcam was offline but then it occurred to me it was still dark. What a dumbass.

The babies are in the nest but no mommy in sight. They're sooooo adorable! 
Looked up this info:
Looked up this info:
On average a hummingbird nest will only be 1 1/2 inches in diameter, about the size of a ping pong ball and will be cup shaped .
The hummingbird nest will be made out of downy-like plant material that's held together with spider webs. Other hummingbird nest material includes bits of lichens that can be found on the outside of hummingbird nests for camouflage and the inside of the hummingbird nest will be lined with plant down.
