Birds are the greatest architects!
The one on the left is a hummingbird nest.
I'm not sure about the one on the right. Perhaps goldfinches.
Any ideas?

They sure are! I am always excited to find an abandoned nest... I am sad I had to leave my collection when I moved though... I guess this just means I have space now for new nature gifts!

They are both beautiful! I love the soft down feathers that they leave behind - must keep them warm and toasty!

Abandoned nests are treasuries. I cannot say what is the second one. In the region of Paris where I live, there are no goldfinches.
The second one is a wonder.

Oh! To be so lucky! I have so many Anna's hummingbirds here & I've never found a nest! I think you are right on the 2nd one!

Thanks all! I love the details in the one on the right. Whatever kind of bird it was, it was very selective in choosing the types of grasses used in its nest!
