Daughter Anna Hummingbird being fed by her mother

Daughter Anna Hummingbird which has physically attained adult size, but is yet unable to fly is being fed by her caring mother. You can observe in the picture that the daughter only has hints of the beautiful coloring in the feathers that her mother displays. This baby bird did take flight a few days after this photograph!
