Avoiding Squirrel Detection (or not)

It is difficult to avoid the detection from these forest sentinels and there location revealing chatter, however some tips to mitigate this may be the following: avoid their dens which are the piles of tree refuse with holes throughout. Regardless how long you linger near by, they will out chatter your patience. Stay close to the trees; lean up against them; this seems to camouflage me such that, often a close squirrel will simply skitter by insead of sounding the alarm.

On the other hand, these tree rats will squeal, regardless you approach in a high human traffic location. Sometimes, the best approach in the end is to just walk in the open and let them see you.
