These are so-called red squirrels, too, but its not the European red squirrel sciurus vulgaris, but the American red squirrel tamiasciurus hudsonicus, which is one of three conifere squirrels they have in the US (Douglas squirrel: tamiasciurus douglasi, Southwestern squirrels: tamiasciurus fremonti.). This one in the video prefers pines. Very noisy, very territorial, very "hectical", very aggressive to their own kind - and thus very funny to observe. But no comparison to the supersupercute red squirrels in Europe.
