Hidden Hummingbird nest
I was on a backpack in southern Utah and discovered this gem while I was collecting water. It was tucked under a rock ledge and very well hidden!

Hummingbird & Nest
Wren nest
We found this wren nest when we opened the hood of our tractor. We didn’t disturb it; we left the tractor alone until the babies left the nest.
Speckled Eggs
An evergreen shrub in my yard was home to this nest.
Nest in the Grass
I found this nest when the mother bird suddenly flew as I walked by. It was camouflaged but just in the grass on the ground, so vulnerable. Two days later the nest was empty. I don’t know if she could have moved them or they were eaten by some other animal. I don’t know what species they are. The mother was small and brown like a sparrow.

Wooly neighbors !
On vacation in Nova Scotia we had the pleasure to share our camping site with this friendly family !
New babies in a recycled nest.
These babies were born after their parents recycled a nest from last year. The original nest was grass and straw and was built under the roof of our swim pier. The new couple added on with mud and feathers and made an upgraded home for these babies. They thrived! And boy did mom and dad ever work themselves to death feeding them! These babies were hungry!
A feather bed!
This nest was created by birds this year who built onto the leftover nest of other birds from last year. The nest is under the roof of our swim pier. The original nest was mostly straw/grass. This “addition” was mostly mud with a feather lining.
Hummingbird babies on crescent moon windchime
Spring 2008 – I noticed a tiny nest on a small crescent moon wind chime that hung about a foot outside my family room window. That spring, and for the next 2 years, we were able to closely watch everything from roosting to fledgling of 3 sets of babies. Fascinating and at times heartbreaking as not all lived. This is the first pair.

Some Eggs Don’t Take
Fallen Angel
Sparrows
This started as a robins nest but they never laid in it. Sparrows then moved in and had a successful family. Now another set of sparrows have moved in.

We had been away from home for a week and found this nest in our clothespin bag upon our return! We sighted a wren flying in and out from it. The photo needs to be turned to the right so it hangs properly!

Creative zoo nest
I wish this had been around for the strange nests in strange places contest. I work as an ape keeper at the Oklahoma City Zoo. We found this nest in a tire swing in the orangutan yard. In addition to the usual twigs and leaves, some little bird smartly built her nest out of a combination of orangutan hair, gorilla hair, and a bit of snake skin.
Treman Babies
I am submitting this photo which was taken by my daughter, Mathea, along the trail at Treman Park. She asked me to submit it for her. Around shoulder height, they found this nest nestled into the rocks, full of baby birds waiting for mom and a meal. Very surprised to see this nest and birds so vulnerable close to the trail and people.
Eggs in the Sagebrush-Steppe
While doing field work with pygmy rabbits in southern Idaho, we ran across this nest, nestled in the sagebrush. It was beautiful and I spent the rest of the day looking for more nests!
Home in the Clubhouse
