Shot yesterday April 14th at Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary in Ladner, BC.
This is a follow-up to my March 30th post of her in the nest on her two eggs.
After feeding sessions (insects - about every 5-10 minutes) to my surprise, she climbed into the nest
and sat right on top of the two chicks. It's still pretty cool here, so it's for the warmth I guess.
To give you some idea of scale, the nest is only 1" tall.

Awesome, I would love to find a nest, how do you find one! We have lots of hummers, but don’t know where they nest….

Thank you Beth! I have only ever found two hummer's nests. I had been told of the general location in both
cases and actually found them by spotting the females foraging and returning to sit on the nest.
Just luck really. They are master camouflagers and the nests so tiny.
