How delightful it is when you are walking along a trail and suddenly the wild tangle of branches resolves itself into a nest! I saw this one in the fall, minutes before a prescribed fire was set in the prairie and it was consumed by the flames. The birds were long gone, of course, and the flames bring renewal to the habitat. Still, I was glad I could get a photo of the nest before it went up in smoke.
