Rehabber Update On The Gray Squirrels
Image by audreyjm529
7/12/08 Today we released the 4 squirrels we have been rehabbing since April. They are the 3 from a litter and another little one from another location. We found a wildlife sanctuary not too far from our house. There are 30 partially wooded acres. The preserve is in honor of the man's Mom who was a nature lover. He doesn't allow hunting on the property. It is beautiful there. We thanked them profusely for letting us release the squirrels there. They said we may release other animals there and were very nice. It takes a load off of our minds knowing we'll have a place to let them go.
The squirrels seemed a little quiet from the ride. We took them up in the woods where there are lots of oak trees. There were acorns all over the ground. They were really bashful about coming out of the cage. The first 3 took off one at a time. They took off like a shot. You could see them for a couple of minutes, but they disappeared into the woods. No pictures of them. The last one came out slowly and was walking around on the ground putting different stuff in its mouth and giving it a little chew. Then it tried the trees. It went all around the trees just trying its freedom out. Every now and then it would have a spurt of speed and go flying around. It hung around for a while. The last I saw it, it was 50 feet up a tree, just trying it's legs out.
