This guy's entire Flickr photostream is of squirrels:

 The other day I was sitting in my backyard, and there was a squirrel rummaging about.  He then decided to lay on a pile of wooden planks that were on the ground, close his eyes, and nap in a nice spot of sun.  This is a phenomenon I have never seen:  A squirrel who is off guard, and who isn't twitching frenetically!

After being gone for over a month, both Gimpy and Baby Squirrel made an appearance today. It rained all day and was generally icky damp weather, and I guess they decided they didn't want to go too far abroad for food. They were a little shier than they had been, but they definately knew where the best foods were hiding. I ran for the suet balls that I made just for Gimpy, who is the only squirrel who seems to like them, and she grabbed one up and scampered away, and I didn't see her again. Must hide prize yummy from everyone else and savor.

Baby stayed much longer to stuff his little round baby-face with black oil sunflower seeds. Bruiser showed up once and swaggered over to chase him away (yes, Bruiser even has a swagger-walk, such a bully!), but I distracted him with a peanut. Bruiser then buried said peanut, peed on the spot, and went across the road, satisfied that he had marked his domain. Baby then took another peanut over to the same area, buried it, and peed on THAT spot.  Ah, spring!

From the Squirrel Stuff Website, discounted 2009 calendar, the "Field Guide to Undiscovered Squirrels":

I haven't seen Gimpy-squirrel in a couple of weeks, and I'm worried. Not that there's anything I can do, but when one has a visitor almost every day for months and then the visitor doesn't show for two weeks... well, worriesworriesworries.  I do know that grey squirrels breed early and give birth about this time, and I suppose it's entirely possible she is with a litter.  But it would be nice to KNOW. I don't know much about how much time Momma squirrels spend with their newborns, but I do know they are dedicated mommies. 

Anyone here know much about mommas and their litters? Do I have a chance in being right in my hope that Gimpy hasn't been around at all because she's Being A Momma?
