Until last week in N.Y. I had never encountered a wild hummingbird. I blew the techs but chalk it up to a one time, one chance op as he flew by while I was shooting some killdeers.

I was watching her go back and forth to this tree to gather spider webs.

Thanks for looking and the replies.

Interesting capture of her working, gathering nest suff...

I got me my first one, of a female recently too... Took over 200 snaps just to capture one keeper.
