When the vegetation dies back during autumn and winter, I am often taken aback by the number of birds’ nests that have been nearby without me knowing. What a poignant photograph.
Thank you, Anne. I am equally amazed to see the same, so close to my repeated passings. Countless feet passed within inches of this nest!
What a tiny nest! It does look very vulnerable now – let’s hope it did its job earlier this year.
Yes, I hope that, too. A happy brood amongst the protection of ferns, only feet from the boardwalk and many humans passing it right by without knowing it was there.
Aww, a tiny bird nest… I wonder what type of bird built that?
I wondered that myself… a small one, maybe a sparrow or warbler? We need a photo app for birds nests! ๐
๐ We do!
What a work of art. Pareidolia: I see a face in the nest.
Oh, yes, I see it – looks like a furry hound to me. ๐ Thanks, Alice. ๐
Birds nests and spider webs always remind us who are nature’s true artists.
You have that right – thanks, Judy!
What is so amazing about birds’ nests is the absolute perfection in each and every one of them. How do they know how to build these nests? Each one is a work of art and this one is no exception, Eliza.
Thank you, Amy. I wholehearted agree!
Autumn is always a big revealer of the goings ons of spring and summer. : )
So true!
Sweet! And a harbinger of what next spring will bring.
Thanks, Kris. Birds and gardening keep me optimistic!
What a beautiful nest Eliza, I can see a furry hound’s face in there too! ๐
Thank you! ๐
I wonder if that nest blew out of a tree or was used by a ground nester. Maybe that face is a bird dog. ๐
Haha, bird dog, yes! ๐ Pretty sure it was att. to the fern stalks.
Oh, nice! Did it fall or is it attached to grass?
Sweet home, I hope the parent’s diligent work was a success with fledglings!
Yes, same here! Thanks, Donna. ๐
What’s great about this photo is that the nest is composed of the very grasses it has been blown into. Such a small nest, perhaps a hummingbird nest. Wonderful photo, Eliza.
Thank you, Jet. It always amazes me how autumn reveals all these little hidden homes that were just out of sight.
What a lovely find! A sign winter is coming … until they nest again!
Thank you, Denise, there’s been a steady stream of migrating warblers and sparrows this month. The juncos are back, a sure sign that winter is on its way.
