Squirrels are busy animals but shy.
They normally hide behind a leaf or any object when they are watched. This one
on the tree in front of my house was not to be.
There was a quite a loud noise from the
tree which forced me to go have look. I knew it was a Squirrel, but expected
not to spot it so easily and at such close distance.
The crying continued as I was watching
and it did not make any effort to hide or run away. Some serious issue but I
just couldn’t figure out what it was. I went and Googled and found this info -
"When a squirrel is scared and feels
that it is in danger, it will at first remain motionless. If it is on the ground,
it will run to a nearby tree and climb to safety, and if it is already in a
tree it will circle the trunk and press up against the bark tightly with its
body"
The situation was quite different from what I read. It surely was scared and seemed in danger but was in constant motion. It was on the tree already and it looked concerned on the tree. It did not circle but was moving in straight line. It did not look like pressing up against the bark tightly either :-)
Finally, could not figure out what was the problem, but the loud crying continued.
