I just had something interesting… I have a small pile of some items to burn, twigs, sticks, etc. I also put the old trimmed clematis vines there, thinking that the cardinals would like that for nesting material. I looked out and saw a robin at something. I was really worried that she had some monofilament or something. Turned out to be the "skin" fibers from dried swamp milkweed stalks. So I stripped the rest and left for the bird, who apparently came back for it. Here's what's left.
