i used to have a pet squirrel,
i didnt really raise it or anything, but it lived in our backyard in our palm tree, i always thought that was kinda cool, like it lived better than the other squirrels, i mean ur very own palm tree!, that's like a mansion for small squirrel
but yea it used to live in our palm tree and it would come down to feed like everyday,

Honestly, they are dead. They are too young to survive on their own, and they wouldn't survive if you put them back. I'm not trying to be mean. Just put em somewhere as safe as you can find close to where you found em. That's their best chance.

Well, here are some reasons. If they fell out of the tree like you think then maybe the mom will come back. I don't think you should watch from a distance with them just out in the open because a bird will swoop down and take at least one.
Fuck, you just had to post that, like 2 minutes after I left to bring them back where I found them...
It says that if the mother is absent for more than one day, they will wiggle out of the nest............. FUCK!!!
That means I just left them for dead.... God dammit. Here I thought I was doing the right logical thing to do...
Now I want to go get them back.
Fucking morality and emotions and shit.. always fucking with people.

idk if anyone said it yet, but a wildlife rehab center.
You should be able to find one around you. The SPCA probably will not take in the squirrels, but they may contact an appropriate organization, so it couldn't hurt.

I was gonna link that page, but you beat me to it. 
Anyways, I don't know what your situation is now since you say went back and left them there, but here's a page that helps you find info on wildlife rehabilitation specifically for squirrels.
http://www.squirrel-rehab.org
If you read their FAQ, they have a bunch of info on what to do, and why you shouldn't feed them. Not sure if that was covered in the other URL in the post that I'm replying to.
Hope I could help and good luck with your Squirrels!

UPDATE
So I went were I left them. They were still there and still alive! No mother in sight. They are abandoned for real....
So I bought an oral syringe and some milk and I brought em back home. I'll take care of them and if I can't anymore, ill shove them down the SPCA's throat. I won't take no for an answer.
So I just fed them few minutes ago... Cutest thing ever. Now they are sleeping all grouped on top of each other.
My conscience is clear.

Well that's cool. Nice that you gave them a shot at not being orphans. Just make sure they are contained once they are especially mobile. I wasn't kidding about the housefire thing. They should be ready to be released before winter. 2-2.5 months maybe. If not you can always build them a cool enclosure for the winter.

aww, wasn't expecting a happy ending. good to hear
Had a similar situation as a child. found 4-5 baby bunnies that seemed abandoned. I just sat with them and tried to give them water/food but they died a few hours later.

mr canada has a heart afterall.
you know that you can raise them into your pets right? if they learn not to fear humans, squirrels can be calmly domestic.
as they grow up have more interaction with them with the closest tree you have, start letting them runup it and come back to you, so they have a home inside and a home outside.
then when they're adults just let em live outside in that same tree, some might leave, but if they stay , you'll always be able to go to that tree with some nuts and meat or whatever and have a little squrelly friend climb around your arms on your shoulders and be chill.
i've seen it before, it's fucking adorable.
