I was out back putting suet cake in the feeder and noticed a squirrel in a hickory tree on the edge of my yard building a nest.
We had 30+ MPH west winds the last couple days and it has blew the leaf squirrel nests away.....So this little guy was "up-armoring" his nest with sticks that he would travel around the tree, cut with his teeth, and carefully put in place.
I guess the next step is to retrieve some leaves to finish building it out.
I also noted that the squirrel is taking advantage of the southern exposure side of the hickory too.
Rodents are the shit when it comes to building nests.
