@Karen I used a Nikon Z9 mirrorless camera with a Nikon Z 70-200mm zoom lens. Thanks for asking.

@Karen Thank you Karen.

@Chris Thank you Chris! The nest wasabout 6 feet above the ground in a tree. The background color came from a building.

This is the nest of a Scaley-breasted hummingbird that I photographed in Panama. -
I didn't know that some think that they hitch rides while migrating. The bone structure, muscle, and difference in attachment to wing bones was enlightening.

I will be in Costa Rica late November. We will stay at a couple of lodges. I believe the one you were at is included in our itinerary. Thanks for the information. Here are a couple of shots I took in Panama in February 2023.

Beautiful image Anne! Now I have a reason to go to Tucson.

Yes. I photograph hummingbirds and want to learn as much about them as I can. I captrure Anna's in my back yard and was curious as to why I don't see any other species where I live in Roseville (Northern California). Venturing to the UC Davis Arboretum, Davis, CA., I also found Anna's the predomnent species, but learned that Black-chinned migrate through the area in the Fall and late early Spring. but in early July I found a black-chinned in a garden north of Marysville, much to my delight. I also caprured Rufous-taile and Scaley-breasted in Panama two years ago, and am on a bird photography (and other wildlife) tour of Costa Rica in late November 2024.

We see Anna's Hummingbirds only in our back yard, where we have a feeder. In 2023 I had a blast photographing a couple of pairs on the feeder and in flight. But 2024 is different. Here in Northern California we experienced several really heavy downpours, thunder and windstorms in the winter of 2023-24. Now we only see one or two males (the picture is one of them. The absence of females is worisome.
