Field Notes

Description:

A small squirrel with reddish to reddish-gray fur on top and a white or cream underside. It has white around its eyes. Its tail is not as long or bushy as the tail of other tree squirrels.

Habitat:

Hardwood Forest

Notes:

This little guy let me take quite a few pictures and never ran off. He'd jump from the log to the tree, back to the log again.
