Hummingbird on the nest

Very cool picture. I love Costa Rica with all their natural habitat. I saw a hummingbird by our pond over the weekend and again tonight right after I planted some flowers by the pond. It was only a few feet from where I was standing. They are amazing!

I am pretty sure that they use spider webs in their nests.

I have a waterfall in my pond and a birdbath fountain on my deck and a bunch of hummers in my yard, I have never seen hummers enjoying the water!
I was thinking of building something like this (video) but I'm pretty sure the other birds would takeover

@Gemma One time I was out water the flowers and I seen a hummingbird going into the spray. I put it on mist and that thing loved it. Keep flying into it and just hovering. It was amazing. Like you I never seen them use any of my water sources either. That video gives me some ideas.

@Gemma That video gives me some ideas.

Can't wait to see what you come up with, everything you do turns out beautiful!

When we were camping in Arizona the place had a fountain that sprayed water out of small holes in different levels and the hummers would come each day to fly through spray and play in the fountain. So fun to watch them!

@Gemma that video is giving me ideas also, my parrot would love something like this.

Taken in Costa Rica, delicate nest for sure. I figured I would share this pic with your morning coffee

The hummers used to play in my AZ fountain all of the time. Here they might but I have not seen them doing it.
