I heard 2 singing vigorously in the Sackville Waterfowl Park in Sackville, =
NB on Saturday, so it seems they have not given up on the season.

time
I have awoken the past four mornings with a persistently singing Red-eyed v=
ireo, always from the same location. It's as if it is springtime again. I=
t's lovely, but a little confusing. We had a pair earlier in the season in=
this same location who presumably nested. Territorial singing long since =
stopped sometime last July.
Has anyone else experienced this species (or other species?) conducting th=
is behavior in late August? I presume it is a juvenile male who has gotten=
ahead of himself. Any other explanations?
Hopefully he'll stop soon and remember to migrate.

Dave and all, your side view definitely shows it to be a vireo nest, and th=
e habitat suggests almost certainly a red-eyed vireo built it. Cheers from=
Jim in Wolfville.

Dave and all,
I would guess that would be a Vireo nest. Seabrooke Leckie wrote a post ab=
out them on her blog (she's from back in the part of Ontario where I come f=
rom). She's one of the co-authors of the new Peterson's moth guide, by the=
way. Anyhow, take a look at the photos here. Most birch nests I've seen =
-- vireo nests -- were usually built in the fork of a branch and fastened t=
o it almost as if by birch strip strapping. They are usually about head he=
ight.

Dear All, Aug 29, 2015
This nest was in White Pine woods (Cambridge woodlot), about 5'4" up in a =
maple branch, clearly this year's but unoccupied and about 7cm in length an=
d diameter (external). It was overhanging a woods road and right in the ope=
n. Body was mostly strips of inner bark fiber interwoven with white birch c=
urls (none nearby), twigs (?) and kleenex (?). Lining was mostly White Pine=
needles.
Perhaps someone can put a name to this.
