Hummingbird chick 1 week before fledging
A female hummingbird had built a nest right next to a hiking trail inside Yesler Swamp in the Union Bay Natural Area. I hid behind vegetation off the opposite side of the trail and waited for the mother to feed her chick. The mom would show every 20-25 minutes.
