Guess What Is In This Photo

Another beautiful day here filled with sunshine. Suppose to be in the 60s later. Had my coffee with cats in the screen room. Lots of birds to entertain all of us. Was out walking around in the yard to see if there was anything new blooming. Nothing yet. Walked in the front to check on the tulips. Still blooming. Then I snapped this photo. Can anyone tell me what is in this one? You have to look really hard. And some may know right away. Care to guess anyone?

It looks like a bird, although I don't have any idea what kind. Is it a bird in a nest?

@CarolDM I didn't realize it was a tree. I thought it was a patch of dirt. Thanks for letting me know what it is.
