Our Newest Neighbor
We noticed her the weekend of the 4th of July.
The nest is so camouflaged that if you don't see her land on it you likely won't find it.
Enjoy! We sure are.

I saw flying into it otherwise I never would’ve seen the nest. I got to observe while she sat on the eggs, after they hatched, when she fed them and I got to see them fledge it was so cool. That was one hard-working mama bird.I have at least three females at my feeders this year but I haven’t been able to find the nest. Hidden in the leaves no doubt. Good job on the photos
I keep hoping that hummingbirds will visit my hanging fuchsia plant, when I had one before it attracted hummingbirds... 
I haven't seen any this year since I've put mine out, but a lot of the blooms have dropped - so I looked it up and learned that they're very sensitive to watering. I already added feeding spikes, but now I need to do better with the watering. I hadn't had that problem before, so I'm still learning... 
She is just adorable, and so is her little nest. 
You are so fortunate to have a front row seat for this!
If it's not too much trouble, I hope you can keep us posted, let us know whenever the eggs hatch and how many little hummers there are.
Also, if you might have a moment to share these pics in the Birders group ( https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1208 ), I know they would be greatly enjoyed over there.
These are super pics, and I thank you for sharing them. This little lady is making my night!
...i get to see nests a fair amount here.
if you look at the full res size of the last pic, you'll see a mite on her beak and a good amount of spider web in the tip of her beak...they use the spider web to strengthen the nest by weaving it in. it's cool to watch.
...shooting from a boat is tough...too much movement.
the squirrel monkeys come so close to my house that i don't even put on shoes to photograph them. i posted these a couple months back...not sure if you saw them:
