Bird nest from last year

FWG

While trying to untangle dog-strangling vine (DSV)from a Red Osier Dogwood shrub, Sandy found this small nest made primarily of grasses on the ground. This is a song sparrow nest and over the years I (CH) have found many such nests bound tightly amidst the DSV vines on the ground or sometimes very low in a shrub, just slightly above ground level. This is one of the dangers of yanking out DSV in nesting season... these nests with eggs or young can be easily destroyed.
