Spotted a Ruby-throated hummingbird at my back deck feeder yesterday evening. He's back

7. I recall hearing about that one.

We have them around here but we don't see them all that often. There are lots of rocky outcroppings for them to do their nesting. But in the word the nest is merely a suggestion, seriously. There is a pair who nest in place where you can, with a scope or high powered binos, see straight into the nest, up above Tower Falls in the park. The eggs were just chocked up by a couple pebbles to keep them from rolling out of the nesting vestibule and off the cliff into the canyon. That's it, not grassy bed or anything, just right there on the pebbles/gravel. The chicks are fluffy puffs of white down until about six weeks. Takes about ten weeks from hatch to fledgling, like eagles.
