Setting Trap for Delmarva Fox Squirrel

A FWS biologist is setting a trap to tag the endangered Delmarva Fox Squirrel. This large, slate grey tree squirrel has an unusually full, fluffy tail and white belly. Once found throughout the Delmarva Penninsula, remnant populations of the Delmarva fox squirrel now persist naturally only in portions of Queen Anne’s, Talbot and Dorchester Counties in Maryland. Translocated populations now exist in other areas of Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and a small area in Pennsylvania. Habitat loss from land development projects, timber harvest and forest conversion in the estuary has reduced the population to in-holdings on protected preserves such as FWS National Wildlife Refuges and state wildlife management areas.
