Inside a Squirrel’s Nest, With Babies

Hi, Mr. Nature here–and today in New Jersey it’s as cold as a brass monkey.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like inside a squirrel’s nest? Well, here’s a nest that a squirrel built up against somebody’s window, probably because that was a really clever way of heating it. And what we have inside are baby squirrels.

As usual, there’s always somebody who just can’t keep still and sleep, and must always be crawling around and bumping into others. Our cat Robbie does that when she comes to bed–parades around and around my wife until she finally settles down on top of Patty’s book, after maybe stepping on her hair a few times.

So there’s hope this baby squirrel will never grow out of this habit of restlessness…
