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.

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.

Aryanna's back on live nest cam!

      aryanahummingbird Mod Birchwomanan hour ago
      I first discovered her nest on Christmas Day, 2023. At that point, it was a tiny, cottony basement, snugged into the elbow of two adjoining branches. Team Aryana watched it develop for several day--together with the Explore team--because we wanted to be sure she was serious about nesting in that spot. They came out to reposition the feeder cam this past Wednesday. And late that afternoon (January 3rd), we launched Aryana's first nest cam of the 2023-2024 mating season.
