Beautiful capture of this brave bird! L

Janet Marie replied:

Thank you Kate. Brave little Janet too. A rattlesnake was lurking about. I found out after I tromping around to get these shots. I am glad that you like it. My only time getting to photograph them in their nest, and this species as well.

Such a sweet scene.

Janet Marie replied:

Nieves! They are sweet aren’t they. I never saw this hummingbird beg, much less in its nest, hanging by a strand of the tree branch. Thank you.

Excellent capture of this special moment!

Janet Marie replied:

Peggy! Thanks so much for sharing such a great comment. I went to Sabino Canyon Recreational area to photograph the saguaro cactus blooms, this mesquite tree once being a nurse tree for this 150 year saguaro cactus. The park ranger asked if I saw the hummingbird in the nest. It was amazing to see this nest built in this flimsy tree branch. It was not easy to do, but so glad I was able to photograph something I have never seen before. Afterward I was warned that a rattlesnake had been seen in the area. What we go through to capture those special moments. Janet💕

What a wondrous capture! l/f.

Janet Marie replied:

Thank you Linda! It was wondrous to behold, as I have never had the pleasure to view them in their nest. I also never viewed a broad-billed hummingbird before. After photographing, the ranger said "be careful, a rattlesnake had been seen." What we do get that perfect shot. I am glad you like it and have chosen it as one of your favorites too!

Just now realized I never went to see your work. It has been a long time but I am glad I finally woke up and saw it and this one of a humming bird nest is just amazing. How blessed you are to have seen this in person. Thank you for sharing it and all the others. For many years we fed them and saw many but never a nest. L/F

Janet Marie replied:

Well, Susanna, I am very glad that you decided to stop by and view my photography. This truly was a rare fine for me as well. Sabino Canyon recreational area, I have visited many times. But I never was able to witness this type of hummingbird and being in the nest. It was quite the icing on the cake. What amazed me is how it built this nest hanging from this thin twig. After tromping about the area, the park ranger ended up telling me to be careful that a rattlesnake had been seen within the hour. So glad I didn’t know that before hand or I would not have gone down to this area to photograph this tremendous opportunity. I’m glad to know that you liked it and have chosen it as one of your favorites to. That is most appreciated. Janet 💕

What a great spring day this was. The bonus to your purpose to photograph the Saguaro Cactus blooms at Sabino Canyon Recreation area. A rare sight to see up close. Truly a brave mama as it precariously hangs by a thread in this mesquite tree. Great shot, Janet! LF FB

Thank you dear Jerry, for sharing and promoting my artwork, with such special words expressed. Your input always means a lot.

Bonnie! Thank you for visiting my gallery and sharing your lovely thoughts about my artwork. I am glad you like this and have chosen it as one of your favorites.

The like, fave, and follow buttons don't work, and also the buttons on the domain page to correct this. So I am not sure if this will go through.) Janet 💕

I hope this little family survived as her nest was only a couple of feet off the ground, Janet. Very nice shot!.... Fav / like

Janet Marie replied:

I hope so too dear Jerry. It was amazing that I was able to pull off some really nice captures of this. It was difficult getting in close and having to be concerned about a rattlesnake that had just recently been seen there. I’m glad that you like it and have chosen it is one of your favorites too! 💕💕💕💕

An awesome capture, and what a glorious hodge-podge is this little lady's nest! LF

Janet Marie replied:

Thank you Kate, for your ever so wonderful comment about my artwork. I truly appreciate your lovely support. I am glad you like this and feel it’s awesome. It does make you wonder what these little ladies who build their nest (although in some cases the males do help in building the nest) are thinking as they gather little tidbits here and there to give structure to their nest. I also appreciate you choosing this is one of your favorites. That means a lot. Janet💕

Janet, what a beautiful moment you captured with the hummingbird on its best; beautiful shallow depth of field, too! Congratulations on your well deserved “Special Mention” honor in Wild Birds of the World group!

Janet Marie replied:

Debra! Thank you for stopping by to congratulate me for the special recognition from William. That was most sweet of him. I am delighted that you feel as you do about this. That means a lot. I was trespassing in a rattlesnake's territory. Oh, what we do to get that once in a lifetime capture. I was there for the Saguaro Cactus blooms, that had grown through the middle of this tree. Barely could be noticed this tiny hummer, looking like it was in a birdmade swing in this hanging branch. How it attached this nest to this flimsy branch, is amazing. 💕Janet

Artist's Description

💕💕I invite you to visit my "DESERT BIRDS-ARIZONA" gallery, to view more birds of the Sonoran Desert!💕💕

I especially set out to photograph the Saguaro Cactus blooms, here at Sabino Canyon Recreation area, located in Tucson, Arizona (USA). There is a very large and old saguaro cactus that has grown up in the middle of a large mesquite tree. It had been 2 years since I visited this spot.

As I was busy capturing the saguaro cactus blooms, the Park Ranger pointed out that a hummingbird was nesting in a dangling mesquite tree branch. I could not believe my eyes. I had to use my 300mm lens to get in close enough, taking many shots.

This is a “broad-billed hummingbird,” also known as “Circe Hummingbird”. It grows to a length that ranges from 3.5 to 3.9 inches and a weight of 3-4 grams. It prefers to live in arid scrub, open deciduous forest, semi-desert, and other open spaces in arid habitats.

It inhabits sycamore and mesquite trees (as seen h...
