Activity in a large oak tree caught our eye this afternoon.
A clump of leaves, supported by dead English ivy vines was being visited by Eastern Gray squirrels with mouthfuls of leaves.
They dove into the drey (scientific talk for squirrel nests) repeatedly, moving around leaves.
It must still be early in the process, as the nest isn't that large, as of yet. The two-some, maybe a pair, maybe siblings, continued to scamper around the nest and up in the tree together.
