The red squirrel has a heavy winter coat with orange-red on the back and sides, and in winter there are tufts of fur on the ears.
The red squirrel ranges from the northeastern United States and eastern Canada west to Alaska and south into the Rockies. It is a common squirrel of Minnesota's coniferous forest and is also found in mixed forest and in some northern deciduous forest.
This red squirrel was spotted at the Chippewa Picnic Area on Hwy 26.
