Squirrel Air Conditioner

This may look like a dead squirrel spread eagle on the front porch. What I found out, this is one of the ways squirrels cool off on the very hot days we have "enjoyed" for the past two months. In addition to this guy I observed several other squirrels using the driveway for their own air conditioner recently. It is no surprise they need the cool down when you look at the other picture of two squirrels fighting over who gets to chow down on the sunflower seeds meant for the neighborhood birds.
