I recently discovered a nest in my backyard now populated by a family of tiny birds that I hear twittering madly when I approach and then go suddenly silent when I get too close for their comfort. Small, brown sparrow-like birds come and go, but I haven't been able to identify which birds build this kind of hanging nest. Definitely not an oriole -- everyone's first guess. Anyone?
