Could this be a squirrel nest or something else?
I believe this is a picture of elite squirrel nest, but I am not sure...Does anyone have any other ideas?

Greg Squirrels' nest - Knock it down if you can. These rodents do nothing but destruction to your yard.

Old Gent From the ground as close as I could get it looks like cotton or wool. If it is a squirrel he is one lucky squirrel.
Looks like he got ahold of someone's patio cushion filling LOL!
Certainly no need to knock it down that's ridiculous.
It's out in the woods. Quite the distance from any houses. Maybe he found a good dump.
4catmom There's an animal show that uses spy cams inside fake animals- this one was so sad- https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=spy+cam+animal+tv+show&view=detail&mid=C8E6C4AD7A9814729A7FC8E6C4AD7A9814729A7F&FORM=VIRE
They did an episode on squirrels that said a squirrel can bury up to 10,000 nuts per year and they usually can remember and find at least 4,000 of them over the winter. I think some of the other 6,000 are the black walnut trees growing up beside our fence!

Justsaying Well I would say that the squirrel has it made with such a fancy nest. lol Thank you 4catmom
ianimal Knock down a squirrels nest that's in a tree???? Why, so he can find a new home in your attic? bwhahahaha
Sorry thought that was silly.
I do agree they can really do damage to a home, but if he's residing in his own house up in a tree, let him be...... :)

GC Knock it down? Could be babies in there. For someone that's so interested in raising goats, agriculture and nature, why would you blatantly disrespect a nest in a tree?
positive No sympathy for squirrels. They are vicious, disease spreaders, steal food, kill birds, and can do incredible damage to your home, inside and out, due to their incessant gnawing with constantly growing teeth. If the next generation of squirrels is destroyed, fine by me.
Positive just think of the source when a unnecessary comment is stated. That nest is out in the middle of nowhere. Safe as can be
Best guess is to see when type of " debri" is under there, just squeeze it and if it smells like oak, it's acorn based,
As for knocking it down, they don't move far and if not your attic , right on top of your engine where all those wire s sit, leave it be

Mariann Wow. I Googled this to figure out what the one in my backyard belongs to and wondered too who they stole this fancy stuffing from.

RuthiRuthi- I agree. I save dryer lint all year for the critters to use for their nesting. I also buy the shiny Easter grass at Easter time. Every March I fill bushes and trees with lint and E grass. In the late fall I love to see what they used. My favorite is the Easter grass because it's still shiny. Fun!
auntiel Anything longer than an inch or so is harmful and not recommended to put out for nests. Birds can get tangled or strangled in the Easter grass or even yarn and such.
