The Humming bird nest that we have on our deck this year appears to be made from a papery creation. I am guessing perhaps a sugar substance and feathers and other materials. Slightly larger than a Golf ball, and looking like an English walnut it was "stuck" onto a metal plant hook for the season, until the 2 eggs hatched.

A hummingbird nest.
The hummingbird builds the smallest nest. Typical hummingbird nests are around 0.79 inches across and 1.18 inches high. Hummingbirds build their nests using mud or saliva.
A hummingbird's nest typically weighs between 0.1 to 0.2 ounces. The tiny nest is usually made of plant material, spider silk, and other lightweight materials to keep it light enough for the bird to build and maintain.
The mother hummingbird raises her babies alone.Once the male hummingbird mates with the female, he is off with another. She builds the nest alone, incubates her brood , continues to feed them, and she even helps them to find their first food source. By remaining close by for a period of time after they leave the nest, she continue to be a good mom.
