There is no benefit to wind damage. The trees suffer, the fences they fall on suffer, the birds building nests suffer... While I'd like to not find any nests on the ground, I'd like to think that maybe the bird who was constructing this would take a little comfort in knowing her talent and hard work was at least much admired.
I'm assuming this is a Baltimore Oriole nest, knitted/woven with green hay string, white threads from a feed sack, horse hair, sheep wool and even some flower fluff.
"I think I'll crochet a green edging."
"And I'll add some white down here at the bottom."
"With some wool to help anchor at the top."
"And some curls to pad out the bottom."
"And I'll anchor the bottom with a feed sack string."
Such handiwork.

Wow, isn't Nature amazing!
LOVE LOVE LOVE! She's quite the designer that Birdie. I wonder if she gives workshops or has a group on Rav?
I just wished a friend moments of wonder. Thank you Sara, you've just shared them with me.
(Truly sorry about the loss of trees, fences and miniature homes)
An artist in every bunch :-}}
What an amazing structure.
Wow! That is such great work on the birds part. I would have loved to see a film of it constructing it. In fast forward, of course.
A poignant post about creation and destructive forces. Hopefully they got out alive and can start again.
I shall not complain today.
Lovely nest!
Our neighbors raise alpcas, and the nests on our property look quite comfy with all the alpaca fiber!
