Our Douglas squirrels exhibit 'marking behavior' in that they rub the corners of their mouths on the railing posts and floor surface of the wooden deck where we often feed them.They place their faces firmly down to the side, and slide along the floor, first on one side ,and then the other.

We have had cats in the past that exhibit the exact same style of rubbing, and we know they are in fact,marking. So we speculate that our squirrels are doing the same thing. However, we have not seen other squirrels sniffing the exact same areas that have been marked by another squirrel. as cats do. So we can only offer our observation.

Yes. Squirrels have been studied communicating with their tails, "wagging" them quickly when they are upset. They will also use chirps and other calls along with tail wags to draw attention to themselves (for other squirrels).
