Hummingbird

I was walking in the parking garage from my car to the elevator when I crossed paths with this woman coming from the opposite direction who was looking at me funny like she wanted to say something, like "hello", but didn't know how to open her mouth when she says, have you seen the hummingbird nest, and points over my left shoulder.
I turned around and looked up and saw the tinniest of nests suspended in midair from a couple of looping ropes that were wrapped around the pipes that run the breadth and width of the garage ceiling. Inside was a hummingbird, so still that at first I thought it wasn't alive, that it was a doll or something, but when I moved closer I could see the tiniest of movements, the little was shaking.
This minuscule bird had built a nest suspended from the ceiling in my parking garage in Alameda. I had never seen anything like it. I snapped off a few pics and when I finally figured out how to focus on the tiny object, this was the result.
