Gift Wrapping

A Baltimore Oriole nest left over from the summer. High up in a linden. So much ribbon! But then, this is a cemetery, and balloons (boo!) and flowers bouquets (inimical to nature in their own way) come tied.

The weavers will find their material. In Prospect Park once, I’ve watched an Oriole pecking at some (probably plastic) rope for nesting material. Back here in Green-Wood, I’ve seen them grabbing at the stringy fibers of yucca.
