Animal Watch: Squirrel stunned by eviction

ALEXANDRIA, West Bellefonte and Commonwealth avenues, Oct. 23. Residents called the Animal Welfare League about a squirrel that was perched on top of a third-story window air conditioner. The squirrel didn't move despite residents' repeated knocking on the window. An animal control officer opened the window, and the squirrel scampered away. The day before, the residents had repaired a hole in the eave, which had been occupied by a family of squirrels. The officer suspected that the squirrel did not realize that the space was no longer available.
