Squirrel's Drey.
The gray squirrel is native to the eastern and midwestern United States, and to the southerly portions of the eastern provinces of Canada. Gray squirrels build a type of nest, known as a drey. The drey is about the size of a football. It is made of twigs, often with the leaves still attached. It is built fairly high in a tree and lined with dry grass, shredded bark, moss and feathers. A summer drey is usually quite flimsy and lodged among small branches. Sometimes the squirrel may make its nest in a hollow trunk of a tree. In the winter, a larger, thicker drey is built, usually on a strong branch close to the trunk, and a squirrel will lie up in this in very cold weather, coming out now and then to search out hidden stores of food.
