Mistletoe Bird Nest

I found this nest unaware that it was a Mistletoe Bird nest. Either way I did not want to intrude or disrupt the nesting birds so I left it be after a quick photo. I was ecstatic to discover it to be a Mistletoe Bird nest. This nest is made from matted plant down and spider web. The female alone builds the nest and incubates the eggs.
