Two Pack Rat Nests Under a House in Pine Mt Lake, Groveland

Ryles Richards found two pack rat nests under a house in Pine Mountain Lake, Groveland Ca. The nests were on opposite sides of the home’s subarea.

14 February 2020

A rat was actually in the smaller, multicolored nest, and ran away when Ryles found the nest.

 

One nest is made from a variety of materials, and was constructed on an old green sleeping bag.

The other nest, two pictures at the bottom, was more birdnest-like, in that it was open at the top.

Wood decay with beautiful patterns

This branch was on the ground, under a dead poplar or cottonwood (??) tree. Sonora California, 2-11-2020. The fungus appears to have grown under old bark, which has mostly now fallen off.
