douglas squirrels


I have never heard of Douglas Squirrels until I moved into my current house. While there are a lot of squirrels here in Portland Oregon, the most common ones are the fox and grey squirrels. Fox squirrels are non native to Oregon introduced from Eastern US.


Recently in my yard I am seeing the resurgence of Douglas squirrels. Douglas squirrels are native to the Pacific Northwest here. They are much smaller than the common squirrels, with the appearance and size almost like chipmunk. Compared to the larger squirrels Douglas squirrels are a lot more agile. Their movements appears jerky in a digital way, with alternate move and stop. I find them quite entertaining.
