enjoyed the pictures. settles the fact of why i can never find a hummingbird nest. ours flies so many different directions i wouldn’t know where to begin to look. always at our feeders though. we believe we have rubythroated hummers, male an female. every year but never see any babies, why is that?

Thanks for the tip. I didn’t have a long lens, so I quickly took a look at the nest while the mother hummingbird was gone. There is one tiny newly hatched bird in there. Very cute. I didn’t stay too long in order not to disturb the nest. It is tiny! What a treat to watch. Here are my latest pics of the baby.

Brian Murphy, who took these wonderful photos, used a long lens, a telephoto lens, to get these pictures. That way you don’t have to get too close.

Great photographs! How close did you get to the nest to take those photos? I have a hummingbird in my backyard and was trying to figure out how to get close enough to see into the nest without disturbing it. The hummingbird never goes very far from the nest, so I wasn’t sure if it was a good idea to get close to the nest. Any knowledge on this?
Here’s a pic of my hummingbird:
