During my studio tour a few weeks ago, someone found this nest as they were crossing the front yard and brought it to me. It must have fallen from a tree long past the time when it was in use. It’s quite small so maybe the right size for a junco but I think they use some mud in construction. I am really not sure what kind of bird built this nest. So sweet and delicate with tiny feathers still attached …I had to paint it! Focusing on the weaving pattern of the fine twigs was very meditative. I placed it on my journal – I love that colour. 🙂
