Index of Subjects Dave and all, I would guess that would be a Vireo nest. Seabrooke Leckie wrote a post about them on her blog (she's from back in the part of Ontario where I come from). She's one of the co-authors of the new Peterson's moth guide, by the way. Anyhow, take a look at the photos here. Most birch nests I've seen -- vireo nests -- were usually built in the fork of a branch and fastened to it almost as if by birch strip strapping. They are usually about head height. http://seabrookeleckie.com/2011/03/03/vireo-nest/ regards, Bev Wigney Round Hill, NS On 2015-08-29, at 8:26 PM, David & Alison Webster <dwebster@glinx.com> wrote: > Dear All, Aug 29, 2015 > This nest was in White Pine woods (Cambridge woodlot), about 5'4" up in a maple branch, clearly this year's but unoccupied and about 7cm in length and diameter (external). It was overhanging a woods road and right in the open. Body was mostly strips of inner bark fiber interwoven with white birch curls (none nearby), twigs (?) and kleenex (?).
