flying squirrels

i was walking malvin in the open field across the street and we came upon a little tiny mostly hairless squirrel laying face down under a tree. at first i thought he was a mouse, he was so small. i assumed he was dead and kept malvin away while i poked him with a stick. poking assumed dead things with a stick is the prescribed man thing to do under such circumstances.

to my surprise, he squirmed a little. malvin squirmed a LOT. i found an empty styrofoam cup and kind of rolled him into it with the stick. then i set the cup into a good Y branch a bit up the tree. i hoped mamma squirrel might find him and he'd at least be off the ground. i turned around to find malvin occupied with a baby squirrel in the spot where i just picked this one up from.

i looked into the tree, thinking he fell right out, but no, he was in his cup in the tree. evidentally this one fell out of the tree from that same place. a hole in a nest? a bird attacking? it was wierd, but i just retrieved the original squirrel in the cup and i scooped this 2nd one into it as well. where the first one went in bottom first and was looking out the cup, this one went in head first and stirred things up a bit. i wedged the cup into the tree again.

i looked overhead to see if there were any more flying squirrels

i went back to that spot later that night and the cup was gone. one of the squirrels was back on the ground squirming. the other appeared to be up in the nest where they came from. they were squeaking back and forth to each other. i left the one on the ground this time, the cup was gone and i didn't want to touch him. malvin was going bonzo on him too, so it was all i could do to get malvin away.
