Abert's Squirrels are a large tree squirrel found on the Colorado Plateau and in nearby areas such as Bandelier. They are active year round.

 

Famous for their tasseled ears, Abert's squirrels will lose those extra hair tufts during summer months.  Even so, with larger ears they are still easy to spot.
