These are bagworms (Lepidoptera: Psychidae); likely Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis. Unfortunately, at this stage in their development, they can be quite difficult to control. See http://tinyurl.com/4nyaa for a fact sheet that includes control recommendations.
know this is solved but found a link you may want to look at. http://www.pestproducts.com/bag-worm.htm
Thank you both flowers_delight & suunto, very much for the information.
