[TheForge] OT - Quesyion about a nest

[Jerry Smith]

Ron,

You maybe right, the bowl shaped nest was cover with a
truck load of wood, so when the guys came to pick up
the wood, I found the nest under the wood. The smaller
burrowing animals that I have around my place is
mostly ground hogs, I have seen possums, but I don't
know if they really burrow. I haven't seen any rats,
but this is away from the house and in the rear of the
barm, I have a over hang there. 

I don't have any skunks, but having one near by would
help with other critters. I have 4 or 5 barn cats that
just won't go to that place in the barn. 

So it maybe rats. 

Thanks everyone,

Jerry
