A friend of mine found a hummingbird nest at Haverford College and I went there and got a few pictures before it got dark. Nancy it was in the exact place you said they like A Sycamore tree hanging over a large pond.

OK Sarah,
Please tell us more about your rain garden when you have time. IS it the type where you create a dry creek bed that 'flows' into a little pool but collects water from the dry creek when it rains?
