Cocoon

This looks like a moth cocoon made probably by one of the tussock moth caterpillars, who make these very hairy cocoons using the hair from their body. Of course, there are others who make similar ones, so it is difficult to say for sure who might have made this. It was underneath a broken off branch. It looks like it has been prodded, perhaps by a chickadee or some other bird.
