Red Maple Discovery

It is a sunny and very windy day here. We didn't get any snow from the storm which dumped 15" on New York City, but we do have up to 55 mile an hour winds until 9pm tonight.
I was coming back from taking Kay's birthday card to the mailbox, and was looking for wind damage on my old Empress Queen maple tree when I spotted this bird's nest.
It is a glob of building material without the apparent bowl of a typical nest on top, but more like a beaver's house. You enter the side door to keep out of all weather. Now I know it is there, I will have to watch for occupants.
