Someone sent me this link to a blog about a squirrel that made a nest right on their windowsill. The pictures are amazing and so are the stories. For all my time in raising baby squirrels I've wondered how the mom does it... how often and how long they nurse, and when -- and how-- she starts teaching them how to be squirrels, so I could follow suit.
Here's a picture from the blog, which also has videos, of the mama sleeping with her three kits on her belly.
I have to share this with you, it's just too great to not be seen: http://www.thesquirrelinourwindow.com/
My favorite book is named something very similar... I wondered if the blog was done by the same author but it's not. The book is called Squirels at My Window, by Grace Spruch. Short of having my own squirrel babies to look after, nothing brings a sense of peace and burst-my -heart- joy like reading the chapters of this book. A pure delight to read, and I highly recommend it.

I went to the site its a wonderful slide show, It all seems very exciting. You can even ask the squirrel a question. I didn't have one at the time, but I'll probably go back.
Wow!! Thank you for posting the site!
Oh my...they so remind me of kittens...this was lovely to watch! I posted it on my 'human' blog, too.
