Under the lampshade of an outdoor fixture. The momma hb chose the spot because it was protected from weather and predators. I, of course, did not crop off her head, but instead cropped the portion of the image which does not include the overhanging shade. It's a photo few people have ever seen… not only the HB nest but the feeding of the chicks.
