October Thirtieth
Red squirrels and chipmunks differ in size, markings, and habits. The red squirrel is nearly twice as large as the chipmunk, it nests in trees, and is usually seen among the branches. It is red on the back and whitish beneath, sometimes having one black line along each side. Chipmunks live in the ground, hollow stumps, and roots. They are poor tree climbers and will not jump from tree to tree unless forced to do so. They have a black stripe down the back and two on each side.
