Baby Hummingbird? Day 253 & 254

While on an evening walk we walked by a bush full of what looked like baby hummingbirds. We couldn't get very close and I didn't have a telephoto lense so this was the best I could do.

We went back the next evening and found the "baby hummingbirds" in a different bush. We still couldn't get very close so we had to rely on the telephoto lense. They look more like some sort of insect. An awfully big insect, that flies and hovers just like a hummingbird!

Here is Husband's attempt.

We are obsessed. What the heck are they?
