Sciurus niger
The fox squirrel is a large tree squirrel, about 21 inches long and 1 1/2 to 2 pounds. It has gray and black fur on its back and orange-colored fur on its belly. The tail color is cinnamon mixed with black. The feet are cinnamon. Fox squirrels got their name from their gray and red fur coat that resemble that of a gray fox.

It's that time of year again, and this squirrel is diving into the cushion looking for nest material. I finally got smart and kept the old cushion for just such occasions.
