Well Hidden in Plain Sight

This canopy of the ficus is just over our heads. Just walking out and looking, I never could find the nest without Ken's help! Here, I was just shooting into the general area and hoping to find it later, enlarged, on the computer!

No need to comment...just wanted you to see how well the hummers camouflage their nests! ...look for the additional close-up with my 365 album to see the baby on the nest!

They are very clever in how they build their nest to blend it in so well.

[Pam Knowler]

You would never know! Definitely well spotted!

[Issi Bannerman]

Extremely well camouflaged! I had to look for a while to find it.

[Ethel]

Astonishing camouflage. It must be a thrill to see them coming and going.

I would love to say I can see a nest, but it would be a lie!!

The best place to hide anything! Clever bird.

[Janiskay]

Nice find! Very well hidden indeed!

Great find and capture

[Pyrrhula]

I often find the nestings after in Autumn as the leaves are fallen.
Great to be able to grow this Ficus outside.

Fascinating

They're pretty good at hiding the nests. I had my mama hummingbird return earlier this year - photo's to be posted soo!
