The answer was no, of course, I turned this young American Red Squirrel into the street with nothing, or, at least, I turned him out into the forest with nothing.
Smaller than your typical grey and black squirrels, which are of course just about everywhere - including your attic when you don't want them to be - these guys are not nearly so common about TO. They are not, however, endangered so far as I'm aware. Sometimes they are also called 'chickarees.'
The main reason for bringing them up really was I just felt this picture was pretty much irresistible.
