Just kidding although, try telling that to the squirrel. We are convinced that this little baby squirrel is convinced that I am its mom. When out in the garden it comes running to greet me, which was startling, initially. I wasn’t entirely sure it wasn’t going to bite me. The squirrel and its sibling cry loudly and plaintively, to no avail, from our neighboring tree. I think their squirrel mom has perished.
Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis)
The photo is not cropped. I was holding the camera less than a foot from the squirrel.

I know why your kids call you Snow White–I still have on my desktop the photo of the Black-capped Chicadee perched on your shoulder! See you soon I hope, too. Emailing you now.
so sad for squirrel but lucky he or she is to have you for a new mom
Half the size of the bricks!
Its is so adorable and I am dying to pick it up and cuddle it–but then I recall the year the squirrels invaded our 3rd floor…
Awwwwww!
Oh, the poor little guy – he still looks like he needs formula: get powdered puppy milk and use a syringe to feed him. I love baby squirrels – a little effort to get them independent, but completely worth it.
