Longtime readers of The Nest know I sprinkle my posts with a liberal dose of self depreciation… often referring to my content with words that would have left the bad taste of soap in your mouth had your mother caught you using them. Anyone who casts as many mocking and sarcastic stones as I do should never be afraid to throw twice as many through their own glass house. But there is one feature on my blog that I can’t even pretend to throw under the bus, and that is my Saturday Squirrel series! Poorly drawn comics, bizarre prompts, killer earworms and chronic possum carnage can be an acquired taste, but everyone loves cute pictures of squirrels!
This post is unofficially my 200th Saturday Squirrel post, with the wishy-washy designation coming because I used the category tag somewhat erratically whenever I posted a squirrel photo at first. The series was mainly a dumping ground for sciurine pictures during its early days, but over time it evolved into more of an educational and entertaining feature as well, and sometimes a mix of both.
One thing it has definitely accomplished…. it has long made my readers smile!
Here’s to another 200-plus Saturday Squirrels! And has been the traditional Saturday Squirrel sign-off…..
I never get tired of cute squirrel pix so keep ’em coming……..they are entertaining little critters. I think the squirrel in that first photo is just giving his butt a good scratch. A guy’s gotta do what a guy’s gotta do after all!

Once you get to a certain age, you scratch when and where you gotta scratch… even if it’s in full view of the entire world. I think I’m about to that stage…
Okay, the top squirrel almost looks like it is bowing to a king. 🙂
And I agree, we all love squirrels! 😀
I’ll have to keep an eye out for the squirrel king then… he may be the one who chases the others away from the feeder.
Be the squirrel version of Game of Thrones. Game of Nuts. 😀
200? Wowsa. Congrats.
That’s a lot of squirrels… I should reunite them all for a class photo.
Yay, 200ish Saturday squirrels! That’s a lot of Saturdays. And a lot of squirrels 🙂
It would look cute to get them all together again… or maybe scary in a “The Birds” kind of way….
I always enjoy your adorable squirrels, smartass.
Maybe I should get together a collection of adorable smartasses….
Well, not to toot my own horn, but I am a smartass and also adorable. 😀
200X cute!
And there will be more and more!
I see squirrels a dozen times a day and still with every Saturday Squirrel picture I’m like “OMG – so cute!” I love that last one. It looks like it was so curious about you!
That’s one of Wilson’s buddies from the park… they’re always puzzled by why I follow them around and take pictures of them! And I’m sure the people at the park wonder the same thing!
Happy #200!!
Thank you!
That squirrel is absolutely posing for your camera. I think he’s ready for his closeup, Mr. DeMille!
And no cheesy stage makeup was necessary….
Oi Oi Oi! for 200 squirrel posts. I love your squirrel posts and they definitely make me smile. 😀
Happy 200th Anniversary of Saturday real squirrel posts!! I like the last one best with his golden, soft furry chest. ❤
That is one of my favorite squirrel pics I’ve taken. The curious expression is what makes it…
