Hard to really tell by the picture, but it sure looks like the common "red squirrel". They are smaller by far than the fox squirrel, and more of the size of the eastern gray squirrel.


The ring around the eyes are what gives me this identification. They are plentiful in the eastern United States, but I'm not sure of their range. Since they have a diet of most anything, I see no reason why they are not also common in the western states.

But most likely a Douglas squirrel-which is endemic to the Pacific coastal region according to wikepedia. http://www.nhptv.org/natureworks/douglas...
