Nest Building


I wanted to show you the nest that two squirrels have been building and improving for days now. It is fairly high up in a tree and is getting bigger all the time. You can see one of the squirrels just below the nest towards the right. They are really preparing this nest to last a long time.

    How interesting! I'm always wondering if I'm seeing nests or just a collection of leaves in the trees. I'll have to pay more attention this Spring!

    I love seeing this, but Genghis (my dog son) may not :)
    Thanks for the visual cues as to where the squirrel is in your picture. Every bit helps these days :):)
    Be well!

    I didn't even know squirrels made a nest like a bird's nest.

    That is an impressive squirrel nest. Perhaps they are planning a large family.

    Fortunately, they don't have all those building codes that we humans have to deal with. Nice photo.

    i chuckled at s.c.'s comment...she/he must be in construction!! what a beautiful home they are building, with NO GUIDANCE or BUILDING CODES at all, it will probably last a lifetime!! i would have never noticed the squirrel, he/she looks like a branch!!
