Can squirrels swim? Well yes - after a fashion. This one sat on top of the post looking longingly at the sunflower seed bird-feeder which hangs from the washing line. My patio door was open so I took the photo below and the squirrel descended the post. As I sat back down, I heard a splash; I think he had leapt up at the feeder, missed it and landed in the pond which is behind those spiky yellow rushes.
He struggled out and ran off before I could get a photo.

I'm kicking off Pride Month with the debut of a new and gay addition to my cast! Momiji Kurumino is a goofball, an oddball, and a screwball with a sweet tooth and a good heart. He keeps his friends on their toes, especially during kendo practice, and makes them laugh. XD #furryart #squirrel

#squirrel: I’m at your service.

eh, for some nuts, of course.

I just added these two Squirrel facts to ScienceCards.org:

Squirrels are vital seed dispersers: they bury nuts (acorns, walnuts) and often leave many, allowing them to sprout into new trees. This reforests areas, boosts biodiversity, and restores habitats naturally.

Squirrels are bioindicators: their populations help scientists assess air and water quality, habitat integrity, and overall ecosystem balance.

Fox Squirrel (Sciurus niger) in Norman, Oklahoma, United States on May 11, 2026

Some of the camera settings I used to make this photo are at: https://www.rsok.com/~jrm/2026May31_birds_and_cats/IMG_5904c_2026may11_squirrel.html

There is also a video made from the still photo zooming in to the eye of the squirrel. https://www.rsok.com/~jrm/2026May31_birds_and_cats/video_IMG_5904c2.mp4. This has sometimes been called the "Ken Burns effect", although he was not the first to use it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Burns_effect.
