A Cardinal Nest
The babies have left the nest in the red plum shrub in our front yard; when I trimmed the shrub I found that when I turned the nest over it was made with a bottom that included a lining of paper and plastic!
We had a cardinal that had a nest in our shrub right outside our dining room window. Once they flew the nest, we had another bird that used the same nest to raise their family in.
