Take a break from exams and studying to watch the progress of a hummingbird chick - from egg-laying to flight 24 days later. Five pages of photos in all, it takes just a few minutes to witness the marvelous progression. It's a treat!

A slightly different sequence of photos of Allen Hummingbird chicks by the same photographer (Vel), dated February 2004, is accessible from the Windstar Wildlife Institute Gallery.
