    I saw a squirrel a couple of weeks ago in a park. It came down from one tree, crawled to another then back down, stopped for a minute standing still and watching the traffic from the near road, then lost its trace in a bush. Guess it was searching for some nuts.

    I love squirrels and these activities would have been amazing... where were you when I was growing up!?!?! Thank you for a great lens!

    great tribute to the squirrel! I prefer to watch them instead of eating them, had to eat some squirrel soup before, little gamy for my taste.

    Squirrels are delightful little critters to watch. I used to sit on my sister's front porch in Indiana and watch them play in her yard and 3 big trees. They were so cute, and they played together like little kids. I enjoyed this lens.

    We have an oak tree in the yard that they love. I also buy them peanuts in the shell when it is nasty outside.

    A very resourceful lens on squirrels and acorns. Squirrels are a delight to watch and difficult to catch. I tried once and it is next to impossible.

    With Autumn being this SquidAngel's FAVORITE season ever, I am flying by your lens because it is related to Autumn. With that being said, I am leaving you with a SquidAngel Blessing and Best Wishes for a Fantastic Autumn Season!!

    What a colorful, entertaining lens!
    We don't feed the squirrels acorns cause they're hard to find around here.
    But hubby makes sure they have corn, walnuts, and other tasty treats.

    What an amazing lens! I am smiling. Remember a joke once: Two acorns were talking to eachother and one said: "Confidentially my dear - I think I am going to have an oak!" =D

    Like Margo, the squirrels have stolen my bird seed too. In fact, they knocked over the bird feeder quite a few times. I tried diversion tactics with seed on the ground and peanuts, but they weren't having it. Something about that feeder was just too tempting...

    No acorns left in our yard after the squirrels are done this year. Love your lens and I am Lensrolling to my Autumn Series lens. Thanks for pulling this great resource together.

    Wow - you must have hit every search page for squirrel and acorn information. Squirrels are cute, no matter where they come from. Love to watch them in action. You did an excellent job on this lens, it was so enjoyable. Thanks for sharing.

    A great collection of Squirrels. Here you have mentioned about flying and brown squirrel but I have seen here first time flying and brown squirrel.
    Thanks for your nice lens.

    An excellent lens for teachers and parents. And me. I love watching the Abert squirrels around our house in Flagstaff. They're going bonkers right now--busy, busy. They're SO cute ... but, at the same time, so intent on getting right in front of my car. I'm always stopping, honking and even getting out of the car sometimes to move them along. Such frustrating little buggers!
