A hummingbird's nest...most nests are about the size of half a walnut shell, so, that would make this nest the "Mother of all hummingbird's nests". This nest is closer to the size of a coffee cup, made up of the usual moss, plant fibers and surprisingly they also use spider webs...found along a riverbank walkway by some very observant folks, who having stopped for a sit on the nearest bench, noticed the many trips of hummers to that particular tree. They went on a search as to why and discovered this well-camouflaged nest. My "hats off to them"...I still have trouble finding it and I know its there!
