hummer nest

[Goblor]

Walked by a large woody tree on a walk and heard the faint hum of a hummer departing, so I waited and sure enough, she returned and gave away her nest location. Looks like three eggs. I'll keep tabs as best I can to document the emergence of nestlings and, hopefully, fledglings. I love spring-time:

1. How large is the nest? I have many hummingbirds, but have no idea where to look

for a nest. I think I've read that the nests are tiny, and blend in well with the tree or wherever they are built. I would love to follow a nest like you plan to do. I love these little birds.

Here is a good article about hummer nests with a picture of one next to a quarter:
