Finch nests look like a normal bird nest with a top encompassing most of the nest. Sortta like an igloo. There's a tunnel that leads to the main nesting area.

Pretty complex design compared to most bird nests.

I have one on my front porch in a hanging plant basket. It has about 4 eggs in it last

time I looked.

Grey squirrels' nests - also known as dreys - are made mainly of dry leaves and twigs in the forks of trees, and are usually about the size of a football. They are built fairly high in a tree and lined with dry grass, shredded bark, moss and feathers. Sometimes the gray squirrel may make its nest in a hollow trunk, inhabit a permanent tree den, or take over a rook's nest, constructing a roof for it.

Red squirrels' nests are also built of twigs and leaves/grass. They are slightly smaller than the nests of the gray squirrel. A squirrel may build several dreys and move from one to the other, mainly, it is believed, to prevent fleas and lice infestation.

See the Related Link below for photos of the red and grey squirrels' nests.

Baby squirrels are born hairless and very tiny. A baby squirrel looks just like an adult squirrel, only smaller in size.

Think slightly fuzzy rat with a very fuzzy tail. Could be red, could be gray, could be sable (black).
