In my defense, Ann, there isn't much room behind the engine, but enough for a squirrel to build a nest. He dragged a few sticks in with the leaves which was one tip-off, the other being when my buddy went to clean it out, and there he was, all bushy-tailed and red. Scared them both nearly to death, it did. It's not that I'm for slaying squirrels indiscriminately, but they are tasty, given good reason. Some people even call them tree rats. The good news is that I have leftovers for breakfast with eggs and gravy. It doesn't get any better than that.
