Broad-tailed Hummingbird on nest

This is my last bird photo from my trip to the west. I've got lots of wildflower and animal photos from the trip to share. The guide of a bird walk I went on took us to see this nest. Would have never found it on my own. Very small and hidden in some trees.
Lovely shades of green. Interesting how the nest has been built

What a fabulous shot - I've read about but never been fortunate enough to see a hummingbird's nest and to catch both together - wow. Fav

Oh my goodness ... I have to ask..was this in Rocky Mountain National Park? It looks so much like a nest I photographed there last month, but the hummingbird wasn't sitting http://365project.org/aecasey/365/2016-07-04
My guide was Jarod from Yellow Wood Guiding. That nest was in a beautifully gentle, quiet copse of aspens. Lucky you!!!!

Oh...checked your "date taken" and I was there a week later and I think it was Jared's first visit to the site in awhile when he took us. Beautiful little nest and bird.

@aecasey I went on a tour through Rocky Mountain Conservancy. Might have been the same leader. Was he an older, retired guy? It looks like the same nest. Believe it was near Beaver Meadows.
