Our neighborhood has lots of squirrels... black, grey and small red ones. Some chipmunks, as well.
I don’t know where the chipmunks live, but the squirrels build nests in the trees around us - which can only be seen when the leaves have fallen from the trees...
Here’s one, in our neighbors’ yard.
I find it hard to believe that those masses of leaves suspended in below-freezing air keep families of squirrels safe and warm throughout the cold months of winter!
How those things stay up there in windy days is a miracle!
Once squirrels abandon a nest and no longer maintain it - it soon falls apart and blows away in the wind!
I’ve seen that happen, too.
