$The red squirrel or Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) is a species of tree squirrel in the genus Sciurus common throughout Eurasia. The red squirrel is an arboreal, primarily herbivorous rodent. \nIn Great Britain, Ireland, and in Italy numbers have decreased drastically in recent years. This decline is associated with the introduction by humans of the eastern grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) from North America. However, the population in Scotland is stabilising due to conservation efforts, awareness and the increasing population of the pine marten, a European predator that selectively controls grey squirrels.\nDistribution:\nRed squirrels occupy boreal, coniferous woods in northern Europe and Siberia, preferring Scots pine, Norway spruce and Siberian pine. In western and southern Europe they are found in broad-leaved woods where the mixture of tree and shrub species provides a better year round source of food. In most of the British Isles and in Italy, broad-leaved woodlands are now less suitable due to the better competitive feeding strategy of introduced grey squirrels (source Wikipedia). \n\nIn the Netherlands this Species is quite common in Forests and Parks.$

Eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus) ultra close on a stone wall in Connecticut, spring. Only chipmunk in eastern North America, and in its genus, Tamias. Of the 24 other chipmunk species, 23 occur in western or central North America and one occurs in Siberia. Outside its two breeding seasons, the eastern chipmunk is solitary. Yet it is extremely curious and can seem to enjoy human company, becoming quite tame around houses. It hibernates underground in winter and, in this case, did not emerge until May. The eastern is the largest of the world's chipmunks. It thrives in rocky, brushy woods.
