A lady found a hummingbird nest and got pictures all the way from the egg to leaving the nest.
Keep in mind the egg is smaller then a Tic Tac and a quarter fits the opening of the nest.

Welcome to Hummingbird Haven!
This space has been created for you to have a friendly and easy place to share your experiences observing and photographing hummingbirds, as well as learn what others are experiencing. For those of you that are users of the Hummer Foto Feeder™ or other hummingbird products that I sell on eBay and elsewhere, I truly hope you will share your good and bad experiences so that I can work to make these products the very best they can be. I sincerely encourage you to post comments, stories, questions, photos and videos.
I do not consider myself to be any kind of expert relative to hummers and actually came to my intense and passionate interest only over the past five years or so. However, by simply communicating over that time with so many other folks who love their hummers, I have picked up a great deal of useful information and some cautions that I want to share with you to enhance your pursuit of these wonderful and intriguing creatures.
In the Native American Medicine Wheel Horoscope, the hummingbird represents "Joy." As far as I am concerned, they seem to have gotten that exactly right and my stongest hope for this space is that it will enable us all to have the opportunity to share that joy with each other.
Please feel welcome and free to jump in, make a contribution and come back soon!

"Beta Testing" Foto Feeder Prototype
Wind Chime Tube Feeder
Just wanted to show another way to use your tube feeders that Jam has on his e-bay site, I wired one to a wind chime I have on my patio and the hummers love it, they can sit on copper wire above the feeder and keep other hummers away, it is so much fun to watch them. Hope you will try this also.

Perching female Ruby Throated Hummingbird visit
while most of us think of hummers hovering somewhere all the time, they actually perch a great deal between and during feeding visits. This nectar tube had just been filled and you can see the air bubble forming in place of the nectar she is consuming.
Three visits by female Ruby Throated Hummingbird
Look closely and you will see the hummer's tongue lapping up the nectar at a very high speed
Male Ruby Throated Hummingbird in pre-dawn visit
This uncharacteristically furtive male Ruby Throated was very difficult to capture because he preferred the very early pre-sunrise hours for his visits, accounting for the darkness of the video

here again, you get a good close-up og her tongue whipping back and forth...
