Abstract:

Estes describes the red squirrel. It is half the size of the gray squirrel and lives in the western counties of the state in forests above 3,500 feet. This squirrel is very territorial and chatters unceasingly at any person or animal that enters its grounds. This noisy behavior has earned it the nickname “boomer.”
