Yes, Mark Ridgway me too love the sounds of squirrels,
Actually a mother squirrel was trying to save their babies from cats so, she hides them in our house and we save them from cats after some days later the cat caught the mother squirrel and she died so we feeding those babies and saving from cat.

Adorable. And what a great sci-name. I love the sound of these and watching their whole body jerk with the effort of squeaking... and accompanied by koel early in the morning. I won't ask how you caught it.. they are so alert and fast.
Thanks for sharing.
