In response to a request I had after posting an illustration of two sparrows a couple weeks ago, here is an illustration of Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds. The image includes two of the hummingbirds perched on tree branches beside their nest. There are two eggs in the nest.
Here is a black and white clip art version.
I scanned the original page from Birdcraft by Mabel Osgood Wright, 1897. The artwork is by Louis Agassiz Fuertes.

Oh how cool. Love hummingbirds
OMGoodness! You found some! Thank you so much! I love hummingbirds! I’ve been enjoying these ruby-throaded hummers all summer! Most of them have started their journey back home and I only had one hummingbird at our feeders today. Thank you very much for your beautiful vintage images! You’re awesome!
Thank you so much Julie for your gorgeous images! I so missed your posts but appreciate every post you do, xxxx

Thank you to each of you for your comments. I’m happy to know you like the hummingbirds.
KT Fit Kitty, I’m glad I was able to find the image to meet your request.
