This mouse has built a nest in an old bluebird nest box nailed to the trunk of a hickory 5’ from the ground in a goat pasture. The nest is made of moss and lined with goat fur, and contains a cache of hickory nuts. The hole in the nest was made by a second mouse which leapt out of the nest when I opened the door. It landed unhurt and ran off. I have often found multiple mice sharing a winter nest.
