Squirks feeding w/video

Squirks_feeding

   I’d be lying if I said that baby squirrels interest me even half as much as baby screech owls.

   But they are in the box with a video camera at the ready, and I had never really seen a baby squirrel before, let alone watch it grow.

   At some point, these squirks (my shortened name for baby squirrels) might get cute, but I am not convinced. 

   No offense intended, but the mom is no beauty queen, and I doubt whether Pops is a winner either.

   Here’s the video of the tykes feeding (think of it as a summer replacement series):

    As a former wildlife rehabilitator, I find baby squirrels to be quite charming.
    When their eyes open etc., they play like kittens and are very entertaining.
    I totally understand why many people find them to be pests, but they have their place in the grand scheme.
    I LOVED the screech owls!
    Could there possibly be a new book?
    How about “Mrs Bushytail and the Squirks?”
