My husband and I have found several similar nests that we have yet to find the builders of.  3 of them are in larch trees, 1 is in bald cypress.  Each is made up of small twigs of these trees with the  needles still attached.  They were built in the last week and a half - when we saw the first one and it still had green needles that were wilted on the twigs.  The one nest measures about 8-10" x 6", with an opening on the side to the cup-like interior that is about 3" x 5".  These are placed up in the trees next to the trunk.  I do have a photo I can send those interested in helping with this identification.

Thank you!
