C. Johnson - 2004-11-21 There are "RED" squirrels in my back yard. Their bellies are red. There are also Grey squirrels in my back yard--their bellies are white!! This is in east central Illinois.
C. Johnson - 2004-11-21 I should have mentioned that I do not feed these squirrels, because there is an Oak tree and a Black Walnut tree that offers plenty for them to eat. Right now I see at least two that are three times the size they were two months ago--probably pregnant.
The American Red Squirrel is adorable, a lively little 'chittering" critter!
