How do predators find these nests? I’ve only ever seen hummingbirds in this area for feeders and they were of course hanging.

This nest was maybe 4feet off of the ground? Whatever grill level would be.

So crazy but I’m really sad. I was so excited to see the nest and then eggs. That’s just nature by still.

That's the business they're in. All they do is cruise around all day/night looking for food. It is early yet, and that pair of birds has time to nest again. Keep an eye out, they may build somewhere closeby.

by smell. Bird nests (and eggs) have a strong scent
