An American Red Squirrel pokes her head out of a bluebird nest at Rolling Hills County Park in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
It's funny you ask.
My name is Mister Bluebird,
and this is my house.

American red squirrel perched on a cut tree branch - no doubt thinking how stupid we all are to have voted this idiot as President.
Squirrels are working
overtime these days to keep
us all delighted.

Fox squirrel with a bad case of mange on the campus of the University of Michigan. I gave him medicated pecans (from a wildlife rescue) and hopefully it will be on the mend soon.
No one is shaving
the squirrels on campus. That
darn mange has returned.

Fox squirrel with a black walnut in her mouth stares at the camera. No doubt wondering how stupid Michigan was to vote Trump in 2024.
Squirrel's superfood
around Michigan must be
tasty black walnut.

Fox squirrel sitting on the end of a cut tree branch at the campus of the University of Michigan. It stands in front of the School of Social Work. What a crappy time it is in higher ed.
Just hanging around,

Fox squirrel standing up on the muddy ground at the University of Michigan. She looks like she has been digging by the dirt on her nose.
The squirrel proposed,
I'll gladly pay you Tuesday
for an almond now.

Fox squirrel standing on mulch at the University of Michigan. The squirrels left paw is injured, possibly in an attack by a hawk or a dog. Still, this squirrel manages to get around OK.

A fox squirrel standing in a piece of sculpture on the University of Michigan Campus - Michele Oka Doner's 2009 bronze casted statue "Angry Neptune, Salacia and Strider (near UMMA). That squirrel has thought about art more than the entire Trump administration.
I am not really
angry, said the squirrel in
the statue. Just bored.

Fox squirrels standing up on a wet lawn at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. This is what a squirrel looks like when it does not appear on Epstein's list. Funny how that works.

Fox squirrel standing on a wall at the University of Michigan. She looks tough - but is a sweetheart. In a completely crappy world - having wildlife to cherish makes everything better.
Oh little squirrel.
You need not look tough to get
mange meds - here you go!

Fox squirrel on a tree with an almond shell in her mouth. The squirrel has bald spots where she suffers from mange. Picture from the University of Michigan.
There seems to be a
