Here is one I found recently in the woods behind my house

The most common is the red-eyed vireo. It is a drab little gray bird. I find these nests in all states of decay. They are really built to last. If you look at the 3 attachment areas you will see spider silk. :)
Thanks Gator!!! I have never seen this bird in my yard, but this nest was at a state park.
vireos build this type of nest :)
