The Red Squirrel

Red squirrels were introduced to the island of Newfoundland in the early 1960s and have spread out since, preying on songbird eggs and young.
Researchers found that thrushes were greater than three times more likely to be detected at sites where squirrels were not observed, according to a paper published in Avian Conservation and Ecology.

Cute but a disruptive species.
