Default Pest makes nest.

This nest is larger than it appears... about 4 feet tall and 5 feet across... you never know what you will find when you go where "No one has gone before"... (Star Trek).

Mine was from birds pushing nesting material into the end of the ridge vent for 14 years. Guess they couldn't figure out why the nesting material was disappearing into a black hole.

LOL....There's a reason for the term "bird brain"

I had one a couple years ago but it's not on this computer.

The screen of a roof vent had a 2" hole in it and the birds just kept putting nest building material in the hole until the pile was about 6 ft high.

Definitely a beaver.

Don't know about down there in Texas but up here in New Hampshire it would look almost nearly practically (enough qualifications?) exactly like a red squirel nest, except it would be a little big being 4 feet across. But then, things in Texas are usually really wicked big, so who knows?

Nope. Attic beaver.

One of the worst causes of ice damming in Missouri.

That was made by a farmer who moved to the city, he had to have something familiar to hold on to. Therefore it's a Hay loft.
