Thank you, for the valued information! Is 12-15ft above the ground avg nesting height? Ruby Throated Hummers only species in my area.Hopefully this season I'll get to "see" a nest in the wild.we had 30+ hummers at 3 different feeders under my carport in a line 5ft apart.I'd love to have a possible correlation regarding the diameter of their nests?.. ie quarter, golf ball, baseball etc.Thanks again!Tammy in Murray KY

Yes, it's a Red Bud tree. I extended the camera over my head to shoot this at nest level from a second floor window so the nest is about 12-13 feet off the ground. The birds at the end of the video at the feeder and in the tree are the babies right before the left that September.

Beautiful... at 4:20 I believe I answered my first question! Yes Red Bud Tree.Questions.. regarding the tree the hummers are nesting in. Could this be an Eastern Red Bud Tree? (I believe it is by the seeds pods, however the leaf is normally heart shaped with the wind blowing I can not be certain.One other question, the nest's height above the ground in feet please.
