If You Happen Along an Orphaned Baby Squirrel This Spring...

... here's what to do if you live in Los Altos, Los Altos Hills or Palo Alto.

This little fella in the photo fell from his nest last week and landed on a busy sidewalk in Palo Alto, where a kindly passerby moved him to safety before he got stepped on.

According to Palo Alto Animal Services, baby squirrels tumbling from nests are common during spring months.

If you are in Palo Alto, Los Altos or Los Altos Hills and find orphaned baby squirrels that can't be placed back into their nest, call PAAS at (650) 329-2413.
