Very off topic, but trying to get info...

Looks like a knuten valve to me, possibly out of a brimborian. No idea why
someone would put such rare object in a tree...

It looks very much like a surveillance camera. I just wonder what they
are looking for?

It looks like a geocache. Keep an eye on it and you may see folks
wandering around with their GPS gadgets in hand looking for it.

If the tree is in your yard, remove the device and saw it open.
However, if the tree is NOT in your yard, remove the device and saw it open.

Eventually somebody will come looking for it, possibly accompanied by the local sheriff.

Geocaching ethics require landowner permission before
establishing a cache. Of course, not everyone does that.

It is hard to tell from the picture how high it is in a tree. If it is for a
geocache you need to be able to reach it and open it somehow to sign the log
if it is indeed a geocache. It is the oddest looking geocache container I've
ever seen if that is what it is.

You don't win anything as such for finding a cache. You get to sign the log
book, take an item from the cache (if there are items inside it) and leave
an item of equal or greater value in it.

Re: Very off topic, but trying to get info...

In reply to this post by Bill Frantz

As a near neighbor to Saguaro National Park at one time I knew the Chief Ranger
on a first name basis. He used to keep up with the geocache website and remove
caches as soon as they got listed. As a related activity I recovered some
benchmarks placed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s that hadn't
been seen since.

For example:

No. I have seen them before. It’s a camouflaged pinata. Trust me.

It looks like a geocache. Keep an eye on it and you may see folks wandering around with their GPS gadgets in hand looking for it.

Was that due to some legal thing where people aren't allowed to leave items
in a national park?
