A marvellous sighting Peter. Don't recall seeing many at the nest. Well done.

Wow- amazing that you found the nest and got this lovely feeding behavior. I love how this photo glows with a special light.

Not very many photos taken like this one, Peter, so a great capture! Certainly a challenge to find a nest due to their small size. Not sure when this image was taken, there are a few juvenile Hummingbirds now in flight in my region ( Ontario). Regardless, a special image, to be sure.

A refreshing take from the usual flight shots of this lovely hummer. However, probably due to the surrounding leaves, there's a strong colour cast to the otherwise lovely image.
Regards,

Des
