Hello Optic N,
I cannot argue with your guesses. This is when we need the expertise of Elkcub, a perceptual psychologist.
However, there is no question, in my mind, that one needs to make some things bigger, to see them. With regard to camouflage, that's one of the reasons artillery and infantry need binoculars, and photo reconnaissance is so important. Those hummer nests are small and are not too distinct from the branches but the bird's movements to and from the nest are a big help in locating them, just as movement often defeats camouflage.
Happy bird watching,
Arthur :hi:
