Nature Done Wright

   I have been searching the Web for squirrel info and came across a site called — you guessed it — squirrels.org.

   Apparently they are unionized.

   This site seemed helpful as well:

  Apparently, the squirrel babies in my nesting box — or den — will be blind for the first month, and it will likely take several weeks more for them to venture outside.

   In short, there will be plenty of time to record them on video.

    There are typically three to five a litter, and squirrels typically have one or two litters a year, depending on food supply.

    The squirrel family should be out of the box by the end of September, and the earliest a screech owl has moved in is mid- to late October, so I’ll have a few weeks to clean out the studio apartment and prepare for the next tenant.
