Suspicious squirrel
Wildlife photography is not my specialty so I am unclear on the exact species, but it looks to me like the common grey squirrel. I shot this on my sony a6 with a 55-210mm zoom lens shortly after a magnificent bird of prey flew past me only feet from my face. In hindsight this may explain why the squirrel looked so nervous...
The American red squirrel is one of three species of tree squirrel currently classified in the genus ''Tamiasciurus'' and known as pine squirrels. American red squirrels are also referred to as pine squirrels, North American red squirrels, and chickarees.
Similar species: Rodents

- Please give your photo a meaningful title and description. You can do so using the "Edit details" button below the photo. It is recommended to include basics like the name of the species and the location in the title.
- You did not share any location info. You are asked to at least share the country in which the photo was taken, since this helps in identifying the species. You can set the country using the "Set country" button. Even better is to geotag the photo, which you can do using the "Geotag this photo" button.
- You did not identify the species on the photo. To identify the species, use the "Identify species" button. If you do not know the exact species, please share what you do know such as the location and family of species so that others can assist in exact species identification.
Note that by sharing your photo with more complete details, it will show up in the species browser, the global wildlife map and in search. It helps people find your photo much better, plus it delivers a far more educational photo. Check out our photo sharing tutorial for more information:
