The thought finally occurred to me that some of you might find useful
the tool I use for examining the contents of birds' nests, especially
ones buried in shrubbery, or atop a woodshed roof beam (such as the
active Pacific-slope Flycatcher nest at my place).

It?s a mechanic?s mirror - think of a very large dental exam mirror,
but with a 2-inch diameter mirror, mounted on an adjustable ball joint
affixed to a telescoping 7- to 11-inch handle. I bought it many years
ago in an auto parts store. (And I do mean "many years" - except for
the mirror, it is all metal.)
