71/365/3723 (August 21, 2018) - Exciting Day With Squirrels in Ann Arbor at the University of Michigan (August 21st, 2018)
OK - not a lot of pictures - but a great story. I was walking in the Law Quad this morning - trying to get out in between the rain showers. I was feeding some squirrels in the Law Quad when I heard some squirrel yelling over near Hutchins Hall (to the west of the Law Library). Then I heard a high pitched screech and heard something fall. Yikes! It was a squirrel nest that fell - and there were two baby squirrels on the ground. It fell from around 8 feet - and the squirrel was moving. But I was freaking out - what to do! I was fairly sure the momma was around. I did not want to spook her - so I did not get good pictures of the baby. I ran back to my office for a box that I was going to move the babies to. They were not there when I got back. I am fairly sure that momma got her two babies and moved them to a new location. I came back a few times - I did not see the momma again. But there will be juveniles around the Law Quad over the next few months! I had never seen babies before - so that was amazing. Just too nervous to get a good picture. Taken over at the Law Quad on Tuesday August 21st, 2018.
