Subject: 8 Differences Between Red & Gray Squirrels (Photos, ID & Behavior)

Most backyards in North America have only one type of squirrel that you see regularly.


Especially in northern and eastern regions, the two most common types are red and gray squirrels... but it's amazing how many people don't realize the dramatic differences between these two squirrels.


So I just published a new article that shares an eye-opening look at the differences in red and gray squirrels in order to really help you interpret their behavior and know what these squirrels are telling you about your local environment.


Check it out here!

Most people tend to think all squirrels are basically the same, but when you really take a closer look at their lives, it's amazing how different they actually are.


Not just in terms of their appearance, but especially their behavior, habitat & even their diets.


So today we'll go over:


  • Simple tips & tricks to confidently identify squirrels by sight AND sound.

  • Differences between communal and territorial squirrels (and how this affects animal communication throughout the forest).

  • How to predict which type of squirrels should be present just by looking at the dominant trees & vegetation.

  • Some commonly asked questions about observed interactions between red and gray squirrels when their territories overlap.


So let's get squirrely!
