Squirrel photos This nest could be a Red
squirrel's one.
We've
learned from naturalist Matt of
Arboretum
that gray squirrels tend to make nests
near the
tips of
branches
using leaves and twigs while red squirrels tend
to build nests
near trunks
using
shredded
bark.
To our surprise, Matt adds, "More
flying squirrels live in Arboretum than gray squirrels. Flying squirrels often
share nests with other squirrels like gray squirrels
because flying squirrels are nocturnal
(only
active at night)
while gray squirrels are active during
the day. Flying squirrels visit bird feeders at night."
That's why we've never seen flying squirrels.
