When I first saw it I thought it was a hornets nest. But after looking at 
the photo more carefully when I got home, I could see that it was 
constructed of woven grasses covered by some sort of downy material. It 
wasn't super big, as you can tell by looking at the twigs on the tree. It 
was about 15-20 feet up in the tree.

Here's the photo:

Is it some sort of bird nest? If so, what species?
