On April 9th my sister Rita Viau noticed a squirrel transporting babys from her birdhouse to our sister Anita Pouliots birdhouse next door about 100 feet away. She's not sure if there were more babies, but she seen the squirrel repeat the procedure at least 3 times and was able to capture the last one with a camera. Anita's birdhouse is higher in  a tree and not so close to the house, which may explain why the parent chose to move them. I uploaded 3 of Rita's photos here:
