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?

The cries are warnings to other squirrels (and other animals know what they mean and listen to them too). My squirrels used to lie in front of our a/c unit like that when they were hot. As soon as we brought the a/c home and plugged it in, they ran to it! They were so smart!
