  • Hard to see the nest but it's in the lower right branch right above the lip of the pot in the background. It's tiny, exposed, and vulnerable. The hummingbird is on the nest in this shot.
  • The next day the chicks were gone.
  • Abandoned nest
  • Nest 2, different mom. This one was much more hidden and less accessible in a redwood tree above a little arroyo, away from the main path.

    What a great shot! The first problem is finding the nest. The next problem is the mama hummer letting you get near. And the third problem is not making her appear the size of a robin. This collection is fantastic.
