Photo taken: November 19, 2012
No matter how long you’ve been following The Nest, there isn’t a squirrel you’ve seen more often here than this fellow…. the Who Me? squirrel. It’s far from the best squirrel photo I’ve ever taken, but it’s the first one I ever took that I was overly pleased with. I just loved how he was looking directly at me inside my bedroom window, paw up to his chest with a puzzled look on his face like he was wondering if I’d just called his name. When it came time to create a logo for my then-relatively new Saturday Squirrel feature, there was absolutely no question who the face of my longest running weekly feature would be…
So if you didn’t know who that was you saw here every Saturday…. well, now you do!
the who me squirrel is our totem from now on…. and if we have our own country it gets a place of our flag ;O)
The world will have great respect for the country that has a confused looking squirrel on its flag!
yup… and they will accept our acorn moneeh ;O)
Here’s lookin’ at YOU kid! Great squirrel and perfect logo for the Nest!

A fine squirrel indeed! I hope sucking up to him like that will keep him from asking for royalties from using his likeness in my logo…
You mean you didn’t have him sign a release???????? Uhoh
Squirrels rock. I love watching ours…. and if I ever stop going on vacation and posting about it, I may do a squirrel pictorial.
Ooh boy! I hope I live long enough for you to get around to that! I love seeing other people’s squirrels…
Be careful what you wish for. I have 18 years worth of Maine backyard squirrel photos.
Bring them on! I’m pretty sure I have yet to see a Maine squirrel…
I’m still in Vermont vacation mode. It may be a while….
Started putting out acorns from my supply – they are well-liked! Hopefully will keep them from the bird seed.
I guess it depends on which they like better! I found out the other day that they can carry a corn cob up the tree with them. So much for sharing…
42 was Jackie Robinson’s number AND the number that Douglas Adams provided to explain the world.
And that’s one nice-looking squirrel!!
He is the answer to everything in the universe…
I wonder if he knows he’s famous…
