Random thought on this morning’s walk: How come we never see baby squirrels?

I see lots of adult squirrels, scrambling up trees and scampering along branches.

I see baby deer, nibbling on leaves or narrowly avoiding death by auto.

I see baby rabbits and ducks. I see baby groundhogs (two of them live with their parents under our shed, as a matter of fact).

But where are the baby squirrels? Those parents are awfully protective, I guess!
