Would anyone know what this strange contraption is? I found it on the hiking trail today, with no signs or instructions. Mike

Very strange indeed! edG's idea seems to be believable. Can't tell if the "spikey" things swing or not but I was kind of thinking that it might make noise in the wind? Maybe some weird weather station?
