Ken Wiegand photographed this unusual bird nest in the Adirondacks. Can anyone tell him what species it belong to? It includes pine needle nesting materials and birch bark on the exterior.

Many years ago, I remember seeing a Red-eyed Vireo’s nest hung between a Y in a sapling’s branches deep in the woods of Pennsylvania, similar to the nest in the photo.
