This red squirrel has also figured out how to get into bird feeders. Squirrels are excellent climbers. Note how the squirrel's feet are turned backwards in order to hold on to the tree. Another member of the squirrel family is the thirteen-lined ground squirrel. These small squirrels have a distinctive pattern of lines and spots on their backs.
Chipmunks are also members of the squirrel family.
This is an eastern chipmunk. Chipmunks stuff their food into their cheek pouches, giving them a rather bizarre appearance. Other images of wildlife dragflys.jpg . A downy woodpecker, perched on a vertical post. An American robin with unusual plumage.
