Nests keep appearing around my house. The birds have taken bits of screen left over from hurricane reconstruction and dog hair and sticks to make their nests. I have drawn the screw pine tree outside my studio that makes a nest for me as I work. The convoluted trunk looks like an animal. It grows and sheds with the storms and seasons but hugs my front window like my own nest.
