Unless it is babies it is not usually for any squirrel to act like this as they are within 10 feet of me almost every day because I am always out feeding and watching birds, this squirrel was also very high up in the tree

She’s telling you to back up! Maybe babies nearby

Warning you to stay out of their tree.

That's definitely directed at the cameraman 😃

Maybe he was just telling you to "keep your head down! There's a bloody red tailed hawk overhead". In this instance, you are squirrel kin.

He is sounding the alarm that you are bothering him lol

No they’re not okay. They’re very upset with the random human waving an object at them.
