Dangling Over The Road

I discovered this tiny nest dangling over the road as I walked along with Gracie on this beautiful morning, and I now find myself curious. What species created this masterpiece? At first, because of its tiny size, I thought of a Ruby-throated Hummingbird; but it's dangling, and I see no lichen. Next, I thought of a Baltimore Oriole; and although it seems a tad smaller than I'd expect, I'm satisfied with that thought. After all, I'd rather concentrate on the bigger picture.

But ask the beasts, and they will teach you;
the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you;
or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you;
and the fish of the sea will declare to you.
Who among all these does not know
that the hand of the LORD has done this?
— Job 12:7-9

I praise you, Lord, for the glimpse of your glory.

God's world is amazing, isn't it? Love the quote you included. Let us know if you discover what little feathered friend resides there. :-)

Good eye and a great capture. I wonder who it is for, too.

It is almost box like in shape. I wonder if you will ever see the inhabitant.

I love how you capture the small things, that truly are the bigger things. I wonder if you will find out the answer to this mystery. Lovely observation, composition and words.
