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.

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!
