Grab your walking stick and a pair of binoculars, because it’s time for another Tuesday squirrel watching party in the park, archiving the best pictures I took on each of my past excursions! Trip #9 brings us into another new year, with all of the following photos being taken on the morning of Thursday March 9, 2017. Our title card squirrel is standing by the road, apparently waiting for a lift to the nearest acorn station. Or maybe he’s just waiting for some of the joggers in yoga pants to come trotting by….
A whopping 16 of the 44 pics I saved from this trip have already been uploaded to my blog… so there were a lot of Saturday Squirrel worthy captures in this set. Like this one…
Awwwww, a cute squirrel in a blooming tree!
For you bird lovers out there. You know who you are….
Have you ever seen a more guilty looking squirrel who realizes he’s been caught brown…. er, red-handed? Yeah, you got a little of the dirt on your nose too, buddy….
What, you’ve never seen a squirrel hanging from a tree before by his teeth? No, that’s not what’s really going on here, but it sure does look like it, doesn’t it?
This squirrel looks downright evil, which is why we love the critters, right?
Ummmm, I hope my photo essay isn’t boring you.
The fluffy squirrel underbelly exposed for your perusal…
No comments from the peanut gallery, please!
Argh! it’s bad enough when the humans think I’m sick for taking candid photos of the squirrels in the park. Even the squirrels think I’m a weirdo…
That’s better…
The squirrel looks good, of course. But I really love that stray blue object under his butt. I thought at first it was a flower, but it’s got straight edges…
Another stump-turned-squirrel patio table. This one’s much higher off the ground than normal, though…
Look who’s king of the hill….
Oh dear! Is that……. a…… finger in his mouth!?!?!?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No wait, that might be just a piece of wood. But it made for a great April Fool’s Day edition of Saturday Squirrel that year…
This happy little cutie perched next to what might be his hollow was voted as my March Calendar Squirrel last year!
A couple of squirrels with their mouths full of nuts.
And that’ll do it for this week’s look down park squirrel memory lane. Be sure to come back next Tuesday to see the highlights of my tenth trip! But first, let’s give this post a proper sendoff…
Lots of real winners in this batch…….that “pervert squirrel” looks to me like he’s simply innocently scratching his butt! But of course “pervert-ness” is in the eye of the beholder. I hope that little guy waiting by the road makes an INFORMED decision as to when it’s safe to cross the road!

The captions in this series are my attempt to put words in the squirrel’s mouth, so he was calling ME a pervert because of the previous photo taken of the squirrel’s underside! I wouldn’t worry too much about the road squirrel…. that was an in-park road not accessible to regular traffic. His biggest worry is someone coming by walking their dog!
bet the pervet was a dog who peed at your tree right?
That last photo is most definitely the end!
Great shots….
THE | END is just begging to be stamped on his cheeks…
This is such a great series of squirrels! They are always cute, busy trying to find something to eat and look at their tiny hands…. Amazing!
Yes they are, and it’s so much fun to watch and take pictures of them at work.
😆 A squirrel pervert! That’s a new one on me (which ain’t hard, even if I am so old I’m farting peanut dust)…I’ve always lived in Utah see, and we’re sort of known for our naivety here. Peanut gallery? BWAHAHAHAHHAHA!!! Oh my. Well you gave me a Tuesday chuckle anyway! And some great photos of squirrels…
I read somewhere that Utah spends the most, per capita,, on internet porn than any other state… so you never know, some of your neighbors might be squirrel perverts too! I won’t be selling my collection of squirrels in…. compromising positions to any of them, though…
that first image almost looks like a casual squirrel hitchhiker. Which makes me hear Stephen King movie music after battling with the locals who keep chewing the tender bark of the new tree. I’d love for them to hitchhike to the closest park! 🐿
Perhaps you could arrange for a little tour bus to pick them up and take them on a mountain expedition. But then, your neighborhood would lose some of its charm without your little buddies!
Umm…yeah…probably no squirrel bus tours in our ‘hood. There’s pretty much an insurrection going on from the damaged trees right now.
A cute bunch, but what’s this? A… bird? How dare you.
He threatened to peck me to death if I didn’t take his picture. Anyone would have done the same…
Squirrel pervert? Do you hide away in secret closets with your photos? 😉
Perverts aside, a very high adorable rating going on here. 🙂
If there were any pornographic magazines geared towards squirrels, I could probably make some money off my collection. Hey, it’s not my fault they pose for me like that! 🙂
There are so many cute photos here! I especially love that first squirrel that looks like he is waiting so patiently for a ride. So cute!
I don’t know if there’s a squirrel version of Uber, but it looks like his ride has abandoned him…
Being a driver for Squirrel Uber would be so fun!
Until you have to drop someone off 100 feet up in a tree!
That’s a good point. I guess I’m not cut out for Squirrel Uber. I’ll have to stick to my unpaid position of peanut dispenser!
