Have you ever seen inside a hummingbird's nest? I hadn't either, until I discovered this little one in our street-side tree. It's only about 2.5" across, and when the mother hummingbird sits inside she fills the whole thing. I risked the fatal dive of a needle-beak long enough to raise my aging camera phone above my head to see what was inside....
Check out how camouflaged it is! It's so tiny, you really wouldn't even know it was there. I can't even imagine what a hummingbird hatchling looks like, and I refuse to google it. Your move, springtime.
