We have lots of different kinds of birds here in zone 7 or 8. Some say we are zone 7, others say zone 8. I believe we have been reclassified as zone 8 here in Willow Springs NC.
Nest was found in sweet autumn clematis vine.

This is the bottom side of this nest found in the grape vine.

From this list, it looks like barn swallows to me: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/page.aspx?pid=1327

I am not an expert but we have swallows that build nest with grass and mud.

Mary Anne, you are right too! Robins will use this method as well. The swallows build nest right over our church doors every year and dive bomb you. Tear down the nest and during the next week, they will build back:) That's when you remember they are God's creatures too and just duck when you get close to the door!!

Hard to know when you can't see where it was built. Offhand, I would guess a magpie or swallow but check this link to help you identify that nest! http://www.ehow.com/how_5108051_identify-bird-nests.html

Thanks for all the comments. With your help, I do think the nest made from mud is the Robin. We have lots of those here. The 1st 3 pics are a different nest than the next 3. Does anyone know what kind of bird would build this nest? I found it in my sweet autumn clematis vine. Thx
