pelletory Marlton, NJ October 14, 2007 6:14 PM Post #4082049	Hi Everyone, Went to a Nature Center w/ trails. I did not get to walk far but almost at the very beginning was this wonderful nest. Cool looking isn't it? Almost looks like its made out of stone but of course it is not. Would anyone happen to know what type of nest this is? Thanks for your help. :-) Pelle Click the image for an enlarged view.
