Squirrel Babies

Our resident Red squirrel Mom has produced a clutch of babies that she's generously sharing with us - she allows them onto our deck with her when she comes for a free nosh.



They are so perfect and unblemished, while Mom looks distinctly haggard by comparison. Dale got a pic of one baby next to the Mom - she's furthest from the camera, with some undulations in her molting fur.



Their erratic movements make them look very inexperienced; they're not fluid and skilled in their behaviors like an adult.
