Nest material

This squirrel was one of several that I saw in the Beechwood Cemetery gathering leaves. This one is sitting over a hole (or cavity), created when a branch was sawed off long ago. Another squirrel popped its head up as if to say "what kept you?".

A delight to the life of the cemetery. He is a beautiful black and the leaves look well against his coat, great catch!! V

Great shot. We don't have black squirrels here - I'd love to see one in person. Almost looks like this one is using the leaves to wipe his mouth! V
