Someone purposely cut down hummingbird nest?!?

So recently, there was a hummingbird nest in a tree next to my house. Everything seemed fine, but the tree was in a place very open, so someone could just walk onto my property over to it. But today, when I went to check it, someone cut it down! It wasn't an accident. The branch looked like it was cleanly cut, and right near the nest. We couldn't find any eggs that dropped out. Why do you think this happened? Who would do something like this?

    No telling. call yahoo customer service, if you're not going to call law enforcement. Probably best to report in some manner to local wildlife authorities and affiliated law enforcement having jurisdiction. Regrettably, wildlife is frequently held in very low esteem by people. You could be looking at the end result of that. It is up to you. It's an issue of possible criminal trespass and other violations of law.
