Aegithalos caudatus (long-tailed tit)

In the gnarled willow trees by the brook I saw a tiny long-tailed titmouse disappear into a fork of a tree. The bird had entered a nest covered with lichens, and the nest looked exactly like the lichen-covered tree itself.1983, Bernd Heinrich, In a Patch of Fireweed, page 11:
