Tiny Mystery Nest





























My husband found this nest in our Northern Minnesota woods and it's about 2" in diameter. He thinks it's a Hummingbird nest but I think it's too big. I think it might be a Red-eyed Vireo nest but I'm stumped what would make such a petite nest.

The forest is mixed with pine and deciduous trees and we are near water. We have a nice variety of wild life and the area is very private so it would be a good location for a skittish mom.

The outside of the nest is covered with lichens and spider's webs, the inside has a lining of pine needles
