Gray squirrels typically do not use the same nest every year. They often build multiple nests, known as dreys, in different trees and may switch between them based on factors like food availability, weather conditions, and predator presence. However, they may return to a previously used nest if it remains suitable. Overall, their nesting behavior is quite flexible and opportunistic.
