Hi there --
As leaves fall from trees, I'm interested in seeing hummingbird nests (preferably around Denver or its southern suburbs). I'm also interested in seeing photos of CO hummingbird nests (from anywhere in the state), if you happen to have them. (If you're willing to share photos or a nest location, please email me directly.)
To cure my inevitable winter boredom, I've taken up an interest in mosses and lichens. Hummingbirds use these in their nests, so I'd like to see this. They use other plants, too, and I'm curious to see if there's anyway of telling through photos or first-hand observations what plant seeds are being incorporated into nests. I'll probably watch out for nest-building activities next year, too.
It goes without saying, but it's still worth saying: I'm not collecting nests. I just want to see photos or potentially photograph them myself.
I also may write about this, once I finish writing about Whip-poor-wills.
Thanks! - Jared Del Rosso Centennial, CO
