Nice spotting rlewis121! Ohio has four squirrel species. The are the eastern gray squirrel, eastern fox squirrel, red squirrel and the pocket-sized southern flying squirrel. The largest is the Fox Squirrel. They sometimes reach a whopping two pounds. Maybe if you check out the four species you can determine which you have here. Thanks, happy spotting, and happy new year!
