Red squirrels are much smaller here and but are known to be quite fierce. There are several ugly stories about the red squirrel, but watching them, they appear to be the same as any other squirrel.
We usually see one or two a year. This year I have seen 5 in the feeder at once, and all are full sized. We are really having a red squirrel boom here.
Here is the picture from the back, but it shows his color. He is on an old stump waiting his turn clean up on birdseed. Fat little guy already.
