Lucifer with nesting material

Here is a female Lucifer Hummingbird.


The next photo op caught me totally by surprise. The camera settings were wrong, the light was wrong, the background was not what I would have chosen, but I couldn't pass up the chance to document a Lucifer gathering nesting material.


She jabbed  in and out of there like the needle on a sewing machine.


Some serious wing and tail action was called for here, but she left with a big wad of cotton. Now if I could just find the nest!!
