I saw this nest in my neighbor's yard and thought "wow that's a small nest". I went back because something told me it's a Ruby-Throated Hummingbird nest. Jake loves hummingbirds so I picked it up (with a glove) and took these photos. I did save it for Jake to show him.
The construction is fascinating and cool to see the materials. And amazing to think they are doing without tools or hands.
Here it is in the yard...
Here are two close ups from the top...
