That is in the league of Regis' eagle shots.

This is a magnificent set of photos. I suspect that you staked out this nest.

Actually I never saw the nest. I just saw this little fluffy hummer sitting on the fern. Then I saw mom come in for a feeding. Then I got my camera. Fluffy returned and I got the shots :). I’m not sure where Fluffy came from, but happy she paid a visit. Thanks for viewing and kind comments.

Just want to thank you for sharing the incredibly beautiful shots of one of my favorite creatures. They haven't visited my feeder this year but I've seen a few around the city.
