roufous hummingbird on nest

Thankyou all who commented on the hummingbird, these little people are facinating, and a joy to photograph.

Regards Rod

I love this photo! Great composition, color, and subject matter. I love hummingbirds and own many h'bird books - this shot is better than many of the pics published in those books! Thanks for sharing it! Jennifer

Stunning! 7/7

Hi Rod, I volunteer at a nature center where we have a hummingbird nest on display and some simulated eggs. . . the eggs are about 1/4" in size. . . I've often fantasized about getting a shot like this. . . if only I could find the nest. . . great work!

excellent capture!

 

Rod, your strategic patience and photographic skills have yielded a once-in-a-lifetime natural treasure!

I have never seen a more beautiful or informative photograph of bird life -- and especially of a hummingbird! The cedar habitat and lichen-shingled nest lined with fine-grained mosses provides such a rich background story to your ravishingly beautiful subject portrait. Every centimeter in your composition is alive with interest. I get a kick out of knowing that the best and most hummingbird "folk" pictures I have ever seen come from a guy who likes to ride motorcycles with his artist wife. 7/7

What a beautiful magic photograph.

This is the first picture in nest with baby birds I saw of Humming, other than mine. Though the picture I captured is no way near yours.

 

Advice from experienced person like would be like a 'Lesson for Student like me'.
