Song sparrow nest at base of walnut sapling

When cutting back the sapling trees in the old field habitat (we don't want trees to take over one of the few remaining open areas at the FWG) I discovered a song sparrow nest in a fork formed by the sucker growth from previous year's cutting, about 1 foot above the ground. Song sparrows nest on the ground (we've found their nests ensconced in DSV vines), or not too far above it in shrubs or other sturdy vegetation.
