Resting Porcupine

Thinking I had spotted a nest of some kind very high up a tree, I was very surprised when I realized it was a sleeping Porcupine. A little difficult to get with the angle and tree limbs. Porcupines are excellent climbers & often climb trees to search for food or rest. They are active primarily during the night.
