Or so this "RED Squirrel" must have thought to himself ... sitting atop a feast of nuts and seeds. This little guy is slightly larger than a chipmunk but smaller than the more common "GRAY" most often seen throughout NY. However under the strict wildlife protectorate in the Adirondack Park region, I'm told the Red outnumbers the Gray (Note the black stripe that separates the white underside from the reddish back.) Despite their size they are more aggressive than their larger Gray cousins, but nonetheless entertaining with their acrobatic antics. On the down side, the locals tell me they can create havoc should one manage to find it's way into the house.
