A visual journey through life. “The sketch hunter moves through life as he finds it, not passing negligently the things he loves, but stopping to know them, and to note them down in the shorthand of his sketchbook.” ~ Robert Henri

Vireo Nest
A little research helped my identify this as a vireo's nest. It's about 2 1/2 inches in diameter, cup shaped and situated in the "v" of two thin branches on a beech sapling. It's exquisitely woven and attached to the branches with spider silk or perhaps the silk from a caterpillar's cocoon, a material that vireos commonly make use of.
Black marker, walnut ink, watercolor, white acrylic.
