It appears to be the nest of a mouse. The golden mouse commonly remodels
old bird nests for its own use. The golden mouse is fairly common in
wetlands across much of Tennessee. Hard to tell who built the original
bird nest here, especially without a size reference. Perhaps a yellow
warbler, American goldfinch, or, if fairly large, a red-winged blackbird.
