There was a singing red-eyed vireo near our cottage in Annapolis Co. =
this past Friday. I also was a bit surprised to hear the lovely clear =
call of an eastern wood peewee this morning at the Research Station in =
Kentville.

Subject: [NatureNS] red-eyed vireo singing the past 4 mornings as if =
springtime
I have awoken the past four mornings with a persistently singing =
Red-eyed vireo, always from the same location. It's as if it is =
springtime again. It'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. =20
=20
Has anyone else experienced this species (or other species?) =
conducting this behavior in late August? I presume it is a juvenile =
male who has gotten ahead of himself. Any other explanations? =20

Hopefully he'll stop soon and remember to migrate.

Dave and all, your side view definitely shows it to be a vireo nest, =
and the 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 about them on her blog (she's from back in the part of Ontario =
where I come from). 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 to it almost as if by birch strip strapping. =
They are usually about head height.

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 and diameter (external). It was overhanging a woods road and =
right in the open. Body was mostly strips of inner bark fiber interwoven =
with white birch curls (none nearby), twigs (?) and kleenex (?). Lining =
was mostly White Pine needles.
Perhaps someone can put a name to this.
