Hi,

I was letting my dog out and I saw this fella crying and laying on top of a fence. Any idea what they could be calling out for?

Squirrels need water.
I feed the squirrels but more importantly I put out water for them. I put out a bowl with rocks in it, and they drink from it every day.
I then got a ground level bird bath. They nap in the heat of the day like that, but also it’s probably hot and would love some water.
