The Great Wooded South never fails to titillate the learning gene. This tiny nest is hanging about three feet above the ground a few hundred feet from Little Pitman Creek just south of Old Summersville Road.
Yes, I just like you flew right straight to the conclusion that it might be a Hummingbird nest. However, after much research I believe the builder was likely a Vireo.
With the exception of the ink pen, I can see five or six different building materials used to construct this complex structure. Do you see them? Comments | Permalink
