The Great Wooded South never fails to titillate the learning gene. This tiny nest is hanging about three feet above the ground a few hundred feet from Little Pitman Creek just south of Old Summersville Road.
Yes, I just like you flew right straight to the conclusion that it might be a Hummingbird nest. However, after much research I believe the builder was likely a Vireo.
With the exception of the ink pen, I can see five or six different building materials used to construct this complex structure. Do you see them? Comments | Permalink

Travel: Entrance to Moonstone Beach

Robert writes, "This beach scene was one of the last days we spent in California visiting the coast and three of their National Parks. Since we took the trip in mid-June, before the start of Summer, we were able to see some nice waterfalls in Yosemite and Kings Canyon National Parks, and we were also able to visit Sequoia National Park right before the recent fires that occurred days after we left that Park."
