My next door neighbor and I both share a love of hummers. With feeders in both yards and evergreen trees that they love, we usually have a large number of hummers. Last night, my neighbor came running down the hill with a yardstick in her hand, screaming "come here!" I was tempted to grab a hoe, as I thought maybe she had a snake!

She had been following the flight path of her hummers and found a nest that is about 7 ft off of the ground, attached to a tree limb. She had the yard stick in hand in order to direct my attention to the correct spot.

I was very happy for Mary Emma, who had lost her husband about 3 months ago. This was the first time that I have seen her beautiful smile in a while.

Needless to say, we're having a photo party this evening. We going to set up with lawn chairs, skeeter spray, iced tea, and our zoom lens. With luck, I hope to get some good photos of this ruby throated hummer nest. Keep your fingers crossed - - will post if the lighting is good enough. Nat
