Squirrel's Nest

2017.01.30 Monday: Despite the still-bare tree branches and the chill to the air, today felt like a brisk early-spring day. The sun shone brightly and the birds sang their cheerful songs loudly while flitting around our yard.

I was able to get outdoors for a walk, and noticed several squirrel's nests in the trees high above me ...I liked the way that this one is nestled in the branches.

I didn't know they built nests that look very similar to a birds nest - great capture! fav

You sound optimistic and pleased about what is happening around you! Good to see the blue sky too!

I didn't realise they built nests! Thanks for that :)

Nice find. I have not seen one before. They appear quite messy :)

[Merrelyn]

I had no idea that they built nests, thanks for sharing :)

We get a lot of squirrels in the garden but I've never seen a nest. Well captured.

Love how they nest in the leaves, sometimes raccoons around here do the same thing!
