Good Night ActiveRain... 
There is something about hummers that is endearing. How can the tiniest of all birds capture the hears of so many. They have mine. In all my years of taking photos I rarely stumble upon a hummer nest. And I can only count on one hand the number of times the nest was active. The photo below is one.

With this post I bid you all ado. I started today with a frumpy hummer, and I end the day with one chillin'. Good night ActiveRain, Mañana...

Michael - I've never seen a humming bird's nest, let alone with a humming bird in it - such a spectacular shot and how cool you discovered it!

That is a cool shot; given their size I would have a hard time spotting it myself.

Micheal,

 I too am enamored with the hummingbird. I am not as gifted photographer but I did get some pics recently (link).

I have never seen a nest for a humming bird, ever.  Robins nest, etc but this is pretty neat.  Kind of blends in with everything.

Michael, I had to really look at the picture to see the hummer.....he sort of blended in with his nest.  I love to watch hummers, they are so amazing and tiny.

Michael, you are so right... to see a humming bird seemingly "stand" still in the air, and then dart around... it warms the heart... I have found a nest or two in my life, but never with a hummingbird in it... thanks for capturing this event.
