September 17, 2009. On my morning walk, along a country road near Bellechester, Minnesota, I spyed this - the ancient art of weaving. Beautiful, site specific and useful. Using only a beak, a bird is able to weave this incredible structure, supported by three weeds, and it resists the battering or wind, rain and the periodic gusts of passing of traffic. How it maintains is tenuous grasp is amazing to me.
