Hanging nest about 25cm tall from last season. It appears to be made of lichen, plant parts (leaves & vines), feathers and other material.

Thank you for the suggestion, apeachg. I have yet to see a Verdin in the area. We do have Bushtits that Hemma mentioned. Their nests seem quite similar.
It's a Verdin nest! :)

Looks like a bushtits nest with the lower part torn off.
Hi Lee, most definitely a bird nest :) I gave you an ID on that awesome spider!
Bird nest u think? Also, I posted pictures of an arachnid that looks pretty good, not sure of the species yet. Wondering what your input is. It may be the one with no thumbnail.
