Tonight she was gone. Here are a couple of pictures I took this afternoon before she fledged

Really getting tight in there

Do you think she's trying to catch a bug?

Thanks for the great pictures. I have never seen a nest in person and it is wonderful to see.

Thanks Mimidi I missed you! Happy belated birthday! Thanks Penny and CarolWNY
and Connecticut Carol.

Penny you are so right I miss them already! I talked with the lady who discovered the nest last night and we both feel so lucky to have witnessed this. Her husband is a professor so they live on campus (Haverford College). So she will probably have them visiting her feeders and flowers. She did say she noticed the hummingirds on her cardinal flowers and Crocosmia but they hadn't used her beebalm.
