Two juvenile hummingbirds sleeping soundly in their nest.
This nest is a neatly constructed cup of mosses, twigs, and plant fibers, held together with spider webs. The spider silk gives it a stretchy quality to expand with the birds’ growth and movement. The outside is camouflaged with bits of bark and lichen.
