Nest: composed of leaves, weeds and grape vine bark, lined with vine tendrils and dry grass. Built 5 feet above the ground among some wild grape vines which grew among the branches of a large red haw bush, situated at the upper edge of a small wood on a hillside. There were several other bushes near. I found this nest yesterday and it contained two eggs.
