Baby Hummingbirds at Yolo Bypass

 

So I got a glimpse of a hummingbird nest at Yolo Bypass

And this was amazing for me - might be 1st hummingbird I have seen in field on a nest since 1988 when I studied Broad tailed hummingbirds at @RockyMtnBioLab with Bill Calder

I did not want to disturb so stayed really far away (this is cropped and was taken with a 500 mm lens)
