Wow! Those are some good examples of weird nests! Some of these birds will fail in these nests because they made bad choices (Darwin) but some will get away with it because humans assist - possibly enabling less-smart birds to keep going until they can't (making fatal mistakes).

Last night's storm broke a limb in the baldcypress in the back yard, so with a handsaw and a lopper I got it out of the tree. It's cut up and in the trash can for next week (though those branches are straight enough I could run them through the small electric chipper).

I took the trimmer around inside the edges of the vegetable beds (not too close to garden plants) to start the work I'll finish tomorrow with the mower. I've picked a couple dozen more tennis ball sized potatoes and some a bit smaller (came out by accident). The plants are still looking good so I'll let them keep producing. Usually the plants end up looking so wilted I pull them and pick up the potatoes from underneath. This is more just prodding around the outer edges of the plant.

The boxes around the house have been compressed into a smaller area and a couple are ready for things I'm listing on eBay this evening.
