Nature Done Wright

   Not much to report in Squirrelville.

    As you can see from the squirrel-cam photo above, the babies and Mom are mostly hidden under all the leaves that Mrs. Squirrel brought into her box during the pregnancy.

     When she is around, you can occasionally hear one of the babies feeding.

     When she is taking a break, the babies appear to be burrowed into the wood-chip floor.

    As a result, I don’t even know how many babies are in there. I am guessing at least two, but the screech owls taught me not to guess very much.

   When the squirrelettes get bigger, I’ll video-record them and post the info.

   I’ll also look into the natural history of squirrels, which are not the most popular of critters, even around my backyard.
