"Harold, look, a whole forest and no one else has built a nest here!"
"Maude, these trees are tiny. We can't build here. Where am I going to put my beer can collection? Let's keep looking.",
"But Harold, it's so cute in here! Look, down on the ground! Free house material! We don't even have to fly it in!
"Free? Did you say free? We don't have to schlepp it in? Okay. I guess it'll do."

I don't know yet what kind of bird built the nest. It sure had lot's of nesting material on hand.

there aren't any eggs in the nest yet. A bird nested in the tomato patch last year as well.

Very sweet, my kids would love it. Maybe it was the same birds?

I often have them in my hanging baskets but I've never seen that before. I hope the nest is high enough off the ground for it to be safe. Let us know what you see in there.

It could be the same birds. The nest is situated in about the same place withing the tomato plot as the one last year. Unfortunately, the nest last year wasn't high enough to be safe.
