After a very hot summer with fall now upon us, the squirrels around campus are taking a very well deserved ''vacation'' from their daily chores before we prepare getting ready for winter.

My its hot today and summer isn't officially here yet. Just enjoying being a squirrel on a hot day in early June.

With all the students gone for the semester, the campus can become a lonely place but the squirrels are always looking for new friends!

Someone even left us an apple. It was a a challenge making it up the tree. In the process we had a crowd watching like they never saw a squirrel with an apple in their mouth ? Persistence paid off.

We didn't count on winter would be returning in April. As a result our supply of nuts are low but thanks to our friends we will never go hungry. Thank you kind people!

Just being a squirrel around campus today checking things out. We are all glad winter is just about over and spring is in the air. #squirrels

The squirrels at OU wish to extend our many friends thanks to the fine people out there who made the past year a memorable one for the campus squirrels and we would also like to extend our BEST WISHES FOR THE NEW YEAR!! #OU

Just enjoying a relaxing day during the holidays. Happiness is just being a squirrel around campus .

Lazy?? Not this squirrel. Just exhausted and worn out from the day burying my nuts, and getting ready for the long winter ahead.

Just taking it easy today . We know winter is not far off and are getting ready to get prepared for colder days ahead.

Going my way ?

You would be smiling too if you were a squirrel and lived on the campus of OU.

OU has the most friendliest and laid-back squirrels in the country! Just awaiting the students to return for the new semester .

Just wanted to say "HELLO'' !

Thanks good people. The pizza was appreciated. Frozen grapes is on our wish list next time. It's a lazy hot summer day for us squirrels.

The day before the 4th of July. It's a hot day in Oklahoma to be a squirrel.

News from the tree:

I feel like a squirrel caught in a bird feeder. What goes in does not always come out with ease.
