When the young are ready to leave their nest, they do it on their volition, without any urging from their parents. Few hummingbirds leave the nest before they are three weeks old. Nesting periods of 20 to 25 days are not uncommon. — Nesting Behavior of Hummingbirds

These fledging are now about 16-18 days old so we may have them around for another week. The pic was taken with my phone held up briefly above the nest while mom was out.

First flight. One of the baby hummingbirds flew around today, for the first time. It appeared to be resting on the ground for a while. It is now in the tree above its nest but has not yet returned to the nest. Schuster is under house arrest for the time being. Photo © 2018 Glenn E Wilson (CC BY 4.0).
