The quizzical looks that squirrels will give me as I try to take their pictures from down on the ground rarely fail to be both innocent and adorable. There are rare occasions where look I receive is less “What are you doing?” and more “GTFO of my face!” Can’t a squirrel be left alone to tend to his nuts? This week’s Saturday Squirrel isn’t curious about me at all… he just looks a bit pissed.
Have a great first weekend of summer everyone!
Maybe he’s just trying to figure out which is his best side..?
Several squirrels have decided the answer to that question was to moon me…
He may just be miffed that the “squirrelarazzi guy” caught him leaving his girlfriend’s place and concerned his mate and six children will see the proof of his indiscretion!

He should only worry if there are any pink squirrels with a single horn running around in a few months…
Looks just like the HBS that has been terrorizing my kitchen. 👿
Surely a case of mistaken identity. He’s too cute to be a criminal…
Maybe he’s looking behind you at a stupid pigeon that’s about to do its business on you car. He looks more surprised than annoyed, he’s probs thinking to himself “damn, I don’t have my phone to take a picture of this dude.” Lol
Yeah, I look forward to the day the tables get turned on me and I’ve got squirrels peeking in my windows taking pictures of me to put on their blogs. Those posts won’t be getting tagged with “cute” or “adorable” like my Saturday Squirrels….
What a cutie! You sure get their attention when you’re out with your camera. The squirrels don’t pay much attention to me anywhere except my yard where they know I dispense nuts and seeds!
Maybe you don’t stalk them as much as I do, playing the “walk around the tree” game trying to get them back in camera view after they hide from me. I probably have hundreds of squirrel restraining orders against me…
Oh no, another human with a camera. Can’t a squirrel get any privacy around here…
Well, when you come outside of your tree naked, you have to expect everyone to gawk…
I pulled the chip from my camera and found the last dozen pictures of squirrels on it. Otherwise, with the feeders down, you would never know they had ever been here. Vanished into the trees. No loyalty at all.
If you feed them, they will come. If you don’t…… well, you’re yesterday’s news.
Unless they start chattering at me, I don’t take their “looks” seriously. Hope you get a picture of him chunking nuts at your camera. Mona
I had a squirrel throw a nut at me before, but I was turned away from it checking the pictures on my camera I’d just taken of it eating that nut…
Love the photo. A squirrel with attitude. Who’d of thunk it!
Yes, as I prove time and time again, squirrels are usually very boring and quiet! I’ve finally found an exception to that rule!
Depending on what kind of nuts he’s tending to, a squirrel surely must realize that doing so is only going to draw attention to himself. Perhaps he ought to be more discreet? 😛
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a squirrel be discreet about anything. Including things one should be discreet about…. like bonking on the branches!
