Tamiasciurus hudsonicus 

     Wide distribution and diurnal habits make his active little squirrel one of our most frequently seen wild animals. Its loud, rolling “Tcher-r-r” and scolding chatter are familiar sounds in the northern forests. 
     The red squirrel constructs its nest in the branches or cavities of trees or stumps. In winter, it lives on food diligently stored up during late summer or fall. A single cache may contain several hundred spruce or pine cones.
