ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) Have you ever seen a baby squirrel? Workers at an animal rescue in Washington state are getting inundated with them. The PAWS Wildlife Center in Lynnwood is busy caring for dozens of orphaned squirrels that have been dropped off all throughout August. And workers are getting ready to receive more in September, which tends to be their busy season for squirrels. Workers use syringes to feed the squirrels milk and some are placed in incubators. When the squirrels get old and big enough, workers will release them back where they were found.
