Updated with photos in 2019 from that time/location as original links, below, may be outdated. Kayaking to the point noted on map (overcast to sunny skies temps in the high 50s/low 60s about 10:45 a.m.), I was trying to locate a singing Prothonotary Warbler when I heard an agitated Ruby-throated Hummingbird chatting above me amongst the tree canopy that was covering my location (about 50 feet from shore in amongst some small trees growing up from within the river). I noticed I had drifted into a territory where there was a fairly low hanging nest (about 12 feet above water level). I backed my kayak out and positioned myself at a safe distance from the nest and behind some other vegetation. For about 30 minutes I observed the Hummingbird flying in and out of the nest area with nesting materials. I only ever saw or heard this lone Hummingbird in the area. Here are multiple links showing some of the behavior observed: http://www.haussparrow.com/Photography/Hummingbirds/i-bMKx5Tz/A http://www.haussparrow.com/Photography/Hummingbirds/i-6TxB4HN/A http://www.haussparrow.com/Photography/Hummingbirds/i-368rBGW/A http://www.haussparrow.com/Photography/Hummingbirds/i-2nbQpM8/A http://www.haussparrow.com/Photography/Hummingbirds/i-s3K78mS/A http://www.haussparrow.com/Photography/Hummingbirds/i-VMKfbc7/A http://www.haussparrow.com/Photography/Hummingbirds/i-Vhr4NbJ/A http://www.haussparrow.com/Photography/Hummingbirds/i-tV8wxBT/A http://www.haussparrow.com/Photography/Hummingbirds/i-5NktnJM/A http://www.haussparrow.com/Photography/Hummingbirds/i-v9PWsqk/A http://www.haussparrow.com/Photography/Hummingbirds/i-zkVp4Wt/A
