Baltimore Oriole Nest

From Great River and Clarence Cannon National Wildlife Refuges:

Have you ever seen a nest like this one? We found this one recently and wanted to share! Baltimore orioles build such interesting, sock-like hanging nests made out of grass, strips of grapevine bark, wool, horsehair, as well as artificial fibers such as cellophane, twine or fishing line.
