Lily moved to Nest 2 and gave birth on April 10 to 3 babies. New mother squirrel (let's call her Goldie) with a baby Bear moved in after the big rain on March 23, 2024. She chased away Lily's children from this SquirrelNest 1 one by one.

And Lily moves babies again, Sept 10, mid-day, after a baby raccoon attempted invasion. They may return after the rain, stay tune.
Lily brings babies after heavy storm. Welcome back!
Lily’s box was attacked by raccoons (they were not in danger because of the baffles), but moved them out next morning, August 4, 2023.
Six babies born July 14, 2023! (six is very rare! usually 3-4!)

SQUIRREL FAQ-
Type !help in our live chat for more. Examples below
!Species: Eastern grey squirrels
!Where: near Washington, DC, USA
!Who: Lily, probably second time mother, and her 4 babies born 8:18pm July 14, 2023. Lily had a single baby, Jelly Bean, in this nest February this year.
!Future: 4 weeks - eyes will open; 6 weeks - exploring the tree; 8-12 weeks leaving the nest for longer and longer trips; 10-16 weeks - relocating to a tree nest.
Lily has three extra nestboxes (with cameras!), she may move her babies between them if she feels like it
Winter months: Hana will take babies away from the nest in September/October to teach nest building and foraging, but in November/December one or two squirrels will likely come back to live in this nest during rain and snow of our winter, and we may even get new baby squirrels in February-March!
!Twitching: normal for babies (sign of normal development)
!Fleas: normal for babies (they look healthy and are not bothered by fleas, trust the experts!)
!Lily (mother): seems to be a young second time mother
!Father squirrel: is never involved :(
!tunnel Predator baffle/guard: this narrow tunnel/hall at the entrance protects squirrel babies from raccoons and raptors (if they do get there)
!intervention of humans: we do not intervene for fear of mother !wildsquirrel abandoning her babies. We WILL take any injured or sick squirrel to a local rehab IF this is what rehab will recommend us to do.
!cleaning nests: twice a year, with anti-mite/flea solutions
Can we tell squirrels apart: sometimes, but mostly not
Why: We love squirrels, and we are excited to share this treasure with the world :)
Identity: this is about squirrels, let’s keep it this way
