on the nest
Persistence pays off! I'm MUCH happier with this pic!
It just drove me crazy, knowing I'd taken that crappy chance shot of this gal in her nest the other day, without even realizing what I had.
I just HAD to go back to the park and try and find her again, even though the odds of locating her were pretty low.
I went back to the general area I had been in and searched for almost an hour.
Nada!
As I was standing on the path talking to another park visitor, I saw the little hummer go buzzing by. She kept flying around the same small area, so I just sat and watched until I saw her disappear into a clump of leaves. When I checked out that spot a little closer......Viola!
I am SO excited to have found this hidden gem.
Now that I know where it's located, I'll be checking back often to see how she's making out. My next goal is to get a picture of her feeding babies in the nest! Can't wait!!
