Oh, dude, squirrels in the spring? They're basically out there doing their version of spring break - you know, just chillin', finding some snacks, maybe doing a little home improvement on their treehouse. They're probably also gearing up for their version of summer vacation, which is just more of the same squirrel shenanigans.
umm.......fly?

In spring, ground squirrels come out of their dens in April and May.
Squirrels in northern Michigan typically give birth in late winter to early spring, around March to May. The exact timing can vary slightly depending on weather conditions and food availability. Gray squirrels, for example, may have two litters per year, while red squirrels usually have one. The young squirrels are born blind and helpless, relying on their mothers for care during the early weeks of life.
Ground squirrels hibernate during the winter.
babies are born in the spring, but without fur
Well they jump very well and spring from trees!
Squirrels eat a variety of fresh greens as well as seeds and dried nuts. In spring, ground squirrels prefer greens over seeds and nuts. Once the natural grasses begin to dry and wither, squirrels will actively forage for seeds. Megan
Squirrels are busy in the fall because they are preparing for winter by collecting and storing food. They gather nuts, seeds, and other food sources to create a reserve that will sustain them when food becomes scarce during the winter months. This behavior, known as caching, helps squirrels survive the colder months by ensuring they have enough food to last until spring.
Different species of squirrels are nocturnal, diurnal, or crepuscular. For example, the eastern grey squirrel is diurnal, asleep during the night, while some flying squirrels are nocturnal, meaning they sleep during the day.
Pregnant Squirrels born in a zoo are typically pregnant for about a month and 2 weeks.
