Found my first Hummingbirds nest today, didn't want to disturb it so just snapped a quick pic and moved away as quickly as I could.

 
Nice find and pic. Never seen a hummingbird nest in person, but I've never bothered to look.
 
Nice, we have hummingbirds all around our house. We have a feeder we put sugar water in, they love it.
 
Wow, those eggs look delicate. Found this two weeks ago and assume they're humming birds. All gone now...someone bigger got hungry. :(

I find the nests all the time! But I live in Northern Idaho in the middle of the forest. The nests are so small, the eggs are usually about the size of a pea as well.
 
Thanks for sharing wonderful findings and beautiful shots. Really amazing creature.
Recently I've come to know that flower nectar consists only sixty percent of their food and the rest is insect.
 
I found one 3 years ago on my property that was made almost entirely of spiderweb with a little moss. very cool

It makes sense Fujita that they would have high protein needs besides the carbs(sugar) with the activity they have and jacked metabolism

Saw some beautiful ones in the mountains of Cuba in january
