According to a recent publication from wildlife.org, researchers have found that hummingbirds creating nests near hawk territory benefits the young hummingbird survival. Hummingbird nests appearing in greater density near hawk nests is not a new phenomenon, however scientists have been unsure of the reason until now.
A recent study found that blue jays and other birds that typically dine on hummingbird eggs tend to perch at higher elevations when hawks are around, which would make the jays unable to see tiny hummingbird nests at a greater distance.
