Close up of Aryana's new nest, cleverly hidden in a Brazilian Skyflower tree. #EasterBasket #HopeAndRenewal

The section of the Brazilian Skyflower in which she's hidden her nest. Just look at that beast of a tree! Her nest is in a thicket of tangled branches, and for that reason, Explore couldn't position a nest cam for livestream views. We'll post still shots, when possible and in a way that's not disruptive. NOTE: Tempting though it might be, never ever prune your shrubs and trees this time of year! During nesting season, countless hummingbird babies are brought to rehab for this very reason. 😢

Hi Zen! Aryana has a very distinctive gorget. It is larger and more heavily colored than most and appears to have a shape like a Christmas Tree. It is scalloped on the bottom edge with a notch in the center. With this up close and personal view and different times of day and light will show a change at times. She is here often because this is her feeder and territory. Most others you might see will have more of a spotted spaced gorget and not as dense. I hope I explained that right. It's sometimes difficult.

Need help with ID'ing our local hummingbird species? Here's a male & female Allen's. Aryana is an Allen's. These photos, and more information, at this link: https://www.allaboutbirds.o...

This is an excellent and highly educational video.

I've finally got the additional snapshots not originally  posted between March and April 9th,  posted chronologically .
The cam for Aryanna's nest is not operating mostly because she's had intruders and moved her nest.

I will be scouring the web for Aryana videos and news.
Whenever I do find these items, regardless of timeliness,  I'll post here.
