I have been checking on this nest for the last few weeks on the edge of Glacier National Park. I am still amazed at the noise reduction in Lightroom. I was only about 3’ away for this shot. Mom was very calm otherwise I would have backed off.

Nice picture, never seen a nest for hummingbirds before.
Thx….a first for me also! You could be 10‘ away and still not notice it.
How cool is that! Well done!
Thank you, mom was not on the nest when I first saw them a day or two after they hatched. They were not even the size of the end of my pinky finger. I had to carefully bend the branch back to peak inside. From what I understand the eggs are not much bigger than a coffee bean. :cool:
