All hummingbird nests are sturdily built, and the Anna’s hummingbird uses plant down, spider silk and similar fine materials to construct its cup-shaped nest, often in precarious locations such as balanced on thin branches or twigs, on a cliff ledge or even astride a wire. The nest is then lined with feathers to gently cradle the .5 inch long white, symmetrically oval eggs.
