 Hi All
 
If you recall, back around  April 9th  I posted some photos by my sister Rita (Viau) in Lower Sackville of a parent squirrel moving its young, minus any fur, out of her bird house before eventually transporting them to our sister Anita (Pouliot) bird house in the yard next door. Well , a couple of days ago Anita witnessed the young squirrels venturing outside her bird house for the first time and was able to photograph the parent assisting the youngsters to the ground. Its hard to imagine being how sure-footed squirrels are as adults that they would ever require assistance of any kind, but some of these photos show that they are not so sure of themselves in the beginning. Anita informed me that on several occasions they looked to be on the verge of falling the aproximately 15 feet to the ground, but made it with the parents help:
