Color photo of an eastern grey squirrel sitting up in a green plastic flower pot with flecks of dirt on its fur.

I think I interrupted it during some kind of dirt bath meditation ritual, it was not digging, just rolling around in my flower pot with no other discernible purpose, but who knows with #squirrels.

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.

One good thing today: a very happy squirrel (named Chip). Who is also wondering what I am getting close to it with an odd looking device in my hand. #onegoodthingtoday #squirrelsofbluesky

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

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.

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

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.

Close-up photo of a grey and brown squirrel with a white belly, perched among bright green waxy leaves, holding a small piece of food in its paws and eating.

Spotted this little neighbor working hard on a snack today. The level of focus is honestly aspirational. 🐿️✨

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.

Enough already

Looking out through a window. A grey squirrel stands upright, one front paw resting on the frame, the other held to their bright white chest. They give a level gaze directly into the camera with a hint of intimidation.

Color photo of an eastern grey squirrel lying spread out on a small branch, also known as splooting.

Caught this #squirrel splooting in a tree behind our backyard a few days ago. Sometimes you just need a good sploot. Temperatures hit 90F (32C) earlier this week, lower now, but sustained summer heat is not far off 😞.

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.
