It must be the season. About 2 weeks ago I was outside adjusting the cover that is on my old Dodge truck and I started hearing a shrill sound. It was dark out and I had a light and panned it toward the direction of this ear piercing squeal and there was a baby squirrel on the ground and some ants were biting it. I quickly picked it up and took it into the house brushing ants off of the little guy and washed him/her off with some warm water. Once the ants were gone, it stopped squealing and was just sleeping. My daughter googled what to do and we followed instructions to make a warm nest in a box, use a warmed rice sock to keep the baby warm and place the box at the base of the tree where the nest is located. The idea is that the mother will come get her baby when she feels safe. Anyway, that is what we did.
I checked on things in the later part of the morning the next day and sadly found the little guy had died. I buried the poor thing near our pups. I felt so sad for the little guy but at least we tried.
As stated earlier, there might have been something wrong with the baby squirrel and it had been pushed out of the nest.
