Charley and Frances (don't ask which is which), refugees from Hurricane Frances. My neighbor and I found these squirrels still wrapped fairly snugly in the nest that had been blown from the tree. They were very chilled so I bundled them up and put them under a lamp on my desk. I've been feeding them round the clock. I'm so tired! LOL They're worth it.

Hundreds of babies were blown from trees, there are stories in the papers. One lady had over 200! She took their plight to the papers and all of the babies were adopted out to volunteers. She's still getting calls.

Close as we can figure these little ones were about 10-12 days old when we found them, hairless, toothless and their eyes still closed. Still are for that matter!
