The wind had dislodged the abandoned nest but a limb had snagged it giving me a chance to admire its workmanship. Queen Anne’s Lace is also known as Bird’s Nest and I can see why.

A bird’s skill to weave and build a nest is truly amazing!

It is amazing to see all the nests hidden in plain sight once the leaves have fallen. Clever crafters!

The leaves certainly provided good cover for their young. Very clever!

I’ve found string from old chicken feed bags in the nests. I’d been using the empty feed bags under a layer of bark mulch to help keep the weeds down. They found some of the string that stitched the tops of the bags.

I enjoy finding nests of birds – even abandoned or broken ones – for I remain in awe of how they managed to put together such intricate constructions with only their claws and a beak to work with. I suspect the beak does most of the work!

So do I. I once saw a nest woven with with blue strands. Looking closer I realized it was plastic from a shopping bag. Talk about recycling 😏
