[TN-Bird] Found: active R-t Hummer nest

Birders,
After many years of trying to follow hummers from the feeder to a possible nest 
site, I resigned myself to the fact that this was probably a joke, what with 
1000+ of trees around and their quick flight, ect.

By sheer luck, last week I was at the right place at the right time and looked 
at the right tree branch.  As I write this, I've got an active R-t Hummingbird 
in the yard here in Perry County.  Is this late in the season for them to nest? 
 

I will update this nesting situation as it develops.
