Hummingbird nest

[ronwoodcraft]

I went to visit my daughter's and they showed this to me. It's along a brushy creek bank, hanging about 10 feet out over the water.
It was too high to get a downward shot, and only one vantage point.

PS. Hope these little birds can fly when they leave the nest cause they are above the creek.

Thanks Don & RR,

This is only the second one I've seen. I don't know how someone spotted it, from a about 15' away it just looked like some small debris that was part of the. If my daughter had not pointed it out, I know I would have missed it.

I found one about 35 years ago, way back in the woods about two miles from any houses. It was made about 4' feet of the ground on a fir bough. It was interesting watching that little family that summer. Had two pencil eraser sized eggs. They looked like two adult sized hummers on the nest just before they left. I kept that little nest in a jar for about 10 years. Don't know what ever happened to it.

Thanks again,

Ron
