Red squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus)

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

There were numerous red squirrels seen today, in fact I saw many more of them than the gray squirrels. This one was sitting in a small tree that has a red squirrel nest at the top. Across the trail is a stand of staghorn sumacs. I watched as this squirrel ran down the tree to a particular spot. After sitting awhile it eventually reached over and extracted a stashed sumac seedhead. There weren't many seeds on this one and it was quickly dispensed with. The squirrel then rummaged around, next photo, and found another one, third photo, much heavier with seeds.
