Identify This Bird Nest
It's shown next to a nickel for comparison. The hole in the middle is maybe an inch and a half across and an inch deep. Outside diameter is maybe three inches across, two and a half inches deep. Any guesses as to what kind of bird made this nest?

It's a Loggerhead Shrike nest. They're one mean little bird. Their talons of weak, so they impale their prey (insects) on the ends of bush and tree branches, thorns, barbed wire, etc. They're called the 'butcher bird.'
Thanx.
