The Douglas Squirrel

The Douglas squirrel is a pint-sized, chestnut-red native resident of forests west of the Cascade rim. They waste no time in telling you—and other squirrels—you’re in their territory, particularly if you’re near their central larder of conifer cones. Named for Scottish explorer and botanist, David Douglas, the Douglas squirrel sounds a bit like a bird sending out an alarm. Watch a video of a Douglas squirrel chattering.
