    John, this is one of my favorite photos. We laugh because she may be about to toss it out of the nest, but hopefully not.

    It's amazing how animals seem to have human-like emotions.

    Wow that's great scene...so lovingly and with care, the squirrel is picking the baby. I am sure she will never toss it out of the nest :)
