Whenever a nest is in your vicinity, you’ll see an in-game prompt that says “You discovered Nest” in the top right corner of the HUD.

Once discovered, each nest is permanently marked on your map and appears on the compass when you’re close to it. This way you can always come back to it if you don’t currently have the means to take it down.
