Squirrel Release

We've had three baby squirrels at the nature center, Flopsy, Mopsy and Trixie (or Little Bit, as she's a little smaller than the others). They fell out of their nest and came in when their eyes hadn't even opened yet. (Their eyes open around 4 weeks). They've been in a cage outside the nature center, and then at Drummond Point Park. After getting used to the surroundings out there, we released them last Sunday. When we opened the cage, nothing happened at first, until Amanda Hardy moved something. That startled them and one of them jumped on Amanda, thumping her right on the head! The two boys ran off and Trixie stayed around to say her goodbyes. We go back every day and make sure they have enough food and water, since they don't have winter stashes started yet. This is Trixie saying "hi" and thanking me for her breakfast!
