I’m guessing this nest is from last year. Was in the center of my yard. Fascinating how birds recycle our garbage.

Looks like it could be a Chipping Sparrow nest, but hard to say out of context. I would agree it’s from last year, as it’s still a bit early for them to be nesting in PA.
How big is the nest? It looks small by the paper towel.
Very small. I thought it might be a hummingbird nest because of the size. But didn’t think that was hummingbird material.
It’s not the right shape or size for a hummingbird nest. Those are small in diameter, and deep for their size. You can compare here: https://nestwatch.org/connect/hth-contest-2016/beautiful-nest/
