The ultimate recycler

Fallen nest, originally uploaded by Elizabeth Smith.

I found this nest in my yard after a thunderstorm; it’s a wonderful little construction of the most diverse bits of stuff. It contains twigs of all sorts and sizes, a grayish and thorny section of bougainvillea vine, russet-colored pine needles, twine, plastic ties, strips of dried palmetto leaves, a piece of green and white electrical wire, tawny grasses, part of a plastic grocery bag, flyaway sections of faded orange yard-trimming filaments, and a lovely dirt floor.
