Baby Squirrel Rescuer
If you need a bit of a lift this fine Monday morning, check out this story of a lady who rescues abandoned squirrels.

(It also underlines just how much knowledge you need to have before taking on the task…would you know what to do with a squirrel who seemed to be abandoned? Naturally, the story is also accompanied by an impossibly cute squirrel photo.)
It’s worth saying of course,that in the US, there are licensed wildlife rehabilitators whose job it is to care for these squirrelly orphans. In the UK, it’s a bit different (definitely enough material for a whole other post).
For now though, as ever, enjoy!

People quite often wonder what a squirrel’s nest (officially called a “drey”) looks like.
