We didn’t take this picture. But it illustrates what was mentioned last week, namely a chickaree or Douglas squirrel. In northwest Washington, most folks call ’em red squirrels. They’re a bit shy and rarely seen in (human) populated places. They can be found when walking about in the woods in the Olympic Park.
