Red Squirrel

(Port Dover, Ontario, Canada)

2022 was the first year I have seen Red Squirrels in my yard in Port Dover.

They look very similar to a chipmunk but are larger with a bushy tail.

They are bullies and chase away all the other birds and animals from the feeders.

Thank you for sending us your charming pictures of Red Squirrels - I have only seen one or two in the 45 years that I have lived in Canada!

I have also added your report and pictures to our Facebook page, where you can read more wildlife sightings Discover Southern Ontario on Facebook
