Yesterday I was sitting at the dining room table eating lunch and looking out the picture window. I noticed this collection of leafy twigs in a fork of a tree near the house.
What have we here?
It wasn't long until I saw who was responsible for all those branches in the fork of that tree. . .
Aha! A squirrel is responsible for this leafy mess!
She leaped away, intent upon her work. . .
"I'm not done yet!"
There was apparently much work to be done!
.
The squirrel worked very hard to bring branches to the nest and pull them down and put them into place.
But then she saw me looking at her.
"Uh-oh, someone can see me!"
I moved away out of her sight, but it was too late. Evidently she thought better of building a nest where a human could watch her every move while sitting in the comfort of their own home.
And I haven't seen her since that last pic. Too bad. It would have been interesting to see what happened next.

Maybe she’s just giving the area a rest. Seeing how it plays out? OR she may have been in a big, big hurry to build because she needed to have those babies?
