Massive grass nest in attic

Found this nest in an attic in Michigan. First time I’ve seen a nest this big. First glance made me think a dude was up there in a ghilly suit.

We have bird nests in attics similar to that around here, they keep bringing in and dropping material till you end up with a mountain of nest.

I wonder what the added R-value is in that area. :thinking:
