The mother had gotten hit by a car, and he'd heard the little ones mewing in the bushes.
When he got them from the bushes, the majority were dead, and the two still alive were just barely hanging on.

   It scared Vickie a bit... they got twenty feet and more up, and their inexperience shows... they were on little twigs as small as a pencil.... I wandered under the trees ready to catch them if they fell. We had a pretty good time. [...]]]></description>
