October Sixteenth
Besides the large pendent nest of the Baltimore and the orchard orioles, skilfully suspended from the end of an elm, maple, apple, or pear tree limb, you will find many smaller hanging nests built by the several species of vireos. They are about the size of a tennis-ball; made of birch bark, paper, and pieces of dried leaves, fastened with spider and caterpillar webs, and they are lined with dried pine needles or dried grass.
