Now I am better able to understand the size & dimensions of this hummingbird's nest. <br /><br />So often I see pictures or videos where the photographer is peering directly into the nest (which are great) but what I've really longed to see is a picture of the limb that holds the hummer's nest from a short distance, preferably to the side of or even underneath the nest. <br /><br />Your picture let's me know what I should be looking for when searching for a nest. The fact that you were able to snap this shot of the limb & nest with the adult hummingbird sitting inside the nest helps me understand the nest ratio & scope. <br /><br />I also appreciate that you included the brush & surroundings while still retaining a very sharp image of your subject.
