Excellent shots!
A thank you for the hummingbirds.
I can’t imagine how tiny their eggs must be. I’ve seen a hummingbird in a nest just once, but certainly didn’t get a photo as gorgeous as these!
Thank you, the nests are very small.
This is the cutest ever. Unfortunately, last fall I found one of these beautiful creatures, obviously sick, laying on my sidewalk. I picked him, or her, up and held it in my cupped hands just before it’s little spirt simply flew away. I couldn’t bear to throw him\her away, so I still have it wrapped in a paper towel shroud, encased in a baggie and frozen in my freezer. Any thoughts on what I should do with this sacred little corpse?
I understand your feelings. My thoughts, I would select a special place and bury the little guy. They are special creatures.
Beautiful photos!!
Your comment is most appreciated — Thanks.
Very nice!
The birds make it nice — appreciate your comment.
How wonderful to capture a hummingbird and her nest! I never see them although there must be plenty of them around here.
My eye has become more trained when it come to hummingbirds. Some have asked how I got so close, her determination to stay on the nest helped.
I’ve heard their egg is the size of a pea. How does the beak and young fit it there?
Don’t know, I just photograph them.
Rare and amazing shots – well done!!
Thank you — right place, right time.
I have a special place in my heart for hummingbirds!
I work with elementary school kids in Sabino Canyon and it’s so obvious how special these birds are to them — something that stays with all of us.
awwwww… What a nice thing to do… I was a school kid when I came across humming birds first in the desert museum! You’re creating memories!
These are just riveting! Fantastic. I love them. Thank you 🙂
They are beautiful birds we all love and admire.

Looking back at old postings listing to
Fleetwood Mac:
“Well, I’ve been afraid of changing
‘Cause I’ve built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
I’m getting older too”
As the seasonal changes
being new life
as we grow older.
