Hammond's Flycatcher (on her nest)

Steamboat Springs, Colorado

Watched her hawk a bug and head back to her nest. Got one shot that shows a juvenile; didn't want to 'spook' her off the nest, so I kept back a good distance.
She was nesting very close to the hiking path at eye level - Buffalo Pass, Routt County, Colorado.

Excellent find and shot. It is great that you stayed back from the nest, so many people don't with bad consequences. V
