This small pine squirrel is easily identified by to its small size of 12-15 inches from nose to tail, making them slightly larger than a chipmunk.  Their size might make you think that they are a juvenile fox squirrel, but this is not the case.  Their color is a solid reddish brown with a whitish underbelly.   This species is the most prominent species that chews holes in roof eves to gain access to a comfortable attic or wall in Oakland County homes. Females raise 2 litters/year – each containing 2-8 young. March-May and August-October.
