Hummingbird nest

Can you see the nest and the hummingbird?

This hummingbird is in front of my brother's house, my other brother took the picture as he was turning on the swamp cooler and noticed it.

Too cool!!!

Plus #1.

Neat! I've never seen a hummingbird not in flight. Of course, after moving here from Fort Worth I pretty much don't see them at all.

Very cool

That's too cool!

Cool Picture.

WOW!!! Nice! I've been asking around if anyone has ever seen a hummingbird on a nest. First for me...

I've got a pic at home I"ll post.

Each year I keep feeders out and have so many birds, I really get a show. I have searched and searched my trees with binoculars hoping to find a nest, but never have seen one. That is great to actually see one that is not in a magazine. You should send a pic to Birds and Blooms magazine. Thanks for sharing.

Great picture. Man, finding and actually getting a picture of these little guys is very hard to do.
We only have a few here outside of Boyd,TX. Guess we are 'off the flight path'. But, we put feeders out for them and wife and I both love to watch them.
Somewhere I have a picture of one I was VERY lucky to catch in flight at the feeder. Man, even that is hard to do.
Good post, great picture!

My cousin has one in her backyard. The egg has already hatched and there's a tiny baby in the nest. They use a telescope from inside the house to film it feeding.

Cool!

Great photo

WOW your lucky. I live out here in Lubbock and only see hummers in the spring and late july till late Oct on their migrations.

cool ive never seen one in the wild

cool

If yall ever are interested Rockport has a hummingbird festival ever fall. It sounds weird and I thought so at 1st but a very kool event.

Evidently the S. Texas coast is the last stopping place as the hummers as far away as Alaska migrate South for the winter.

Here is a link if you are interested. The wife and I go about every 3 yrs.

Thanks for the heads-up..I love Rockport & would love to live in that area.
We have feeders & when it needs to be refilled...they buzz me...just hang in the air about 5 feet from me & "talk". They also let me know when they get here around April...they are hungry. Beautiful little birds.

Cool pic!

Awesome

Thanks everyone. The key to having a hummingbird nest in your tree must be to never do yard work. So they must like a no traffic tree like my brother's.

Great photo, I have looked also but never found a nest. It is an awesome photo, Thanks for sharing it.

Thats cool. So is the nest more common on certain trees?

Cool how they camo them up huh?! I found one this spring while turkey hunting, I just happened to set up under a oak that had one in it.

Google Dan Brown Hummer House. He has the largest concentration of hummers in Texas, nice guy too. Lives on the South Concho River at Christoval. My dad runs some longhorn cattle on his ranch across the hwy from his home place. They have cabins for rent and an observation room. You can literally see 30-50 hummers all at one time.
