American Red Squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) - 20200523-01

            The American red squirrel is amongst the smaller of the tree squirrels. Its fur color can be very different, depending on the season and where it lives. Brownish or reddish are the usual colors of the upper parts. In summer, it has a black stripe along its side, which separates the dark upper fur from the creamy or white fur. The squirrel's tail is often edged with white and is not as thick as in other tree squirrels in North America. Its large black eyes are encircled by white bands. This squirrel's compact, muscled body, strong claws, and strong back legs make it good at climbing and running through trees.

They are aggressive and believe that the woods and forests belong to them, and them alone.  They will chase or chatter at other squirrels, rabbits, people and birds.  They are active and fun to watch.
