Slightly off topic but have you read "The Backyard Bird Chronicles" by Amy Tan? I have it next on my non-fiction to read list and it looks good.

I have this strong urge to skip over a library book I have and read it since I got it for free via an online contest. I want to read about birds for some reason.

Hello, Susie

I think you’ve found a squirrel nest. They’re also called a drey.

They sometimes can be similar to bird nests.

Here’s a little article from Alberta Canada.

Here’s a video with a similar nest.
