Antsy

The elder hummingbird nestling is getting restless, buzzing those wings:

With much patience I finally got a photo of these two both peeking out:

Note how the lower one has somewhat sparser feathers and a shorter beak with a more prominent gape. It is probably a day or so younger than its sibling.
