baby rabbits. If a young squirrel falls from its nest you should put the baby in a cloth lined box and leave it at the base of the tree from which it fell. The mother will come down when its safe and carry the baby back to the nest. If the nest has been destroyed put all the babies in the box and wait for the mother to return. The mother will gather up the young, one at a time and move them to a new nest. All squirrels have multiple nests and she will simply move the young.

In the next few months when you see a young bird, rabbit or squirrel in your yard, stop and think before you jump to the rescue. If you need additional advice from a licensed wildlife rehabilitator look in your telephone book under wildlife or contact you local humane society or nature center.

Happy Birding!
