Good idea Luis.
I prefer 'Binging' to 'Googling'.
Bing has awesome images.
If I could escape Google totally...I would. lol!
One just has to type in - images of ............. whatever you're looking for.
ie: Images of Dandelions.

You're correct Luis. I just ' Binged it' and that is what it is. A Rock Squirrel.

Glad I didn't confuse you too much. :)
I recently spotted a Squirrel too.

I am hoping I IDed it correctly.
I am fairly new to the area where I'm living.
I am accustom to seeing only Red Squirrels where I used to live.

Thank you very much Telse for your help IDing this squirrel. Your suggestion made me look for one within range and I found this one.
