I have what appears to be a neurologically damaged squirrel coming outside my window to feed. left side not working properly - maybe even left eye not working. Perhaps hit by a car? Anything I can do? Do nest mates bring food to others? I'm so sad.

Unfortunately there's not much you can do to help it. Is it still coming to your feeder?

You know its difficult to tell; at first i thought NO. But now I see a squirrel that seems to have some slight injury - curved head to the left. I don't really know if this is the same one or not; I assumed the other one would survive or just die in the cold; its been very cold here.
