Very unique nest. Have never seen one like that before. Almost looks like spider web around nest? Thanks for post.

From what I've read, you are correct in the fact that spider webbing is used in the construction of the web.

Custom fitting nest - very sharp! Nice!
And from what I've read, after the chicks are born the nest will stretch to accommodate their growth. Mother Nature is so interesting.

An amazing capture! Subject such a treat, and the photo could not be any sharper. Tripod? Congrats, well done!

No tripod unless you count an 10 foot step ladder with a bean bag on top. But yes, it was a pretty stable platform to shoot from.

What a wonderful animal. My wife and I just put out a feeder in hopes of getting some shots of them. Hope that are still around, I haven't seen one in awhile. Thanks for the post.
