This is so wonderful. I love your story. She is so cute with all of her stuffing around her. What an awesome thing that you were able to capture this moment. Sometimes you have to just hang until it happens and that is what you did. Your reward was great!

Very cute hummer! What a great fine and good eye to see this one. I have also only seen one. I hope you can follow the babies when it happens. Thanks for the very interesting information.

    Thank you so very much! This makes number two for a lifetime for me! I have high hopes of getting pictures of the babies, that will be a first for me.

Spectacular close up! I have never seen a hummingbird on her nest until right now through your eyes! Great focus and detail on her. Cannot begin to imagine how tiny the little eggs were. Sounds like you had quite a task to get to see her, but it paid off well! Fantastic capture! Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you so very much! The eggs were pinkish in color about 1/4 inch arond and looked like miniture chicken eggs! I have a couple of shots of thenm too! I can't wait to see the babies! This is truly a thrill for me!

What a fabulous photo and story, once again you have grabbed my attention. Focus is good. Lovely capture, you must live in a very beautiful part of the country.

Good shot Willie and the patience and the back breaking position must feel very worthwhile in the end with this image.

Willie, your patience paid off -- big time. This is probably the only hummingbird nest I've ever seen. Your focus on her sweet face and narrow bill with the fibers -- perfect! Kudos!
