Seems to make them very happy if the crows don't swoop down and get them first. I just assumed most animals would have their babes in the spring, more gentle climate. Sorta the dead of winter now,maybe the squirrels didn't read the "when to have offspring"manual. Anyway, the babe is brown. I wonder if they are all born brown for camouflage and then turn black as they mature. That would make sense as how could black squirrels produce a brown baby. 藍 Okay, I know what your thinking, maybe she had an affair in the tree a few yards away. You just never know what them squirrels could get up too. Maybe I should just mind my own business I imagine I could google for info but you never know, maybe one of you out there knows far more about squirrel protocol and behaviour than I.
