This observation lies outside the range iNat has for this species. This could mean iNat's range is wrong, the ID is wrong, a vagrant occurrence, or a range expansion!

Everyone can see the coordinates unless the taxon is threatened.
Obscured
Public coordinates shown as a random point within 10KM of the true coordinates. True coordinates are only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation.
private
Coordinates completely hidden from public maps, true coordinates only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation. Observations with private coordinates will still be used to verify place check lists.
Description
Observed 2 chasing each other at north end of field in woodline.
It's possible it could have been a long tail. I saw them through the under brush, and could see it was weasel in size, with a tan back, and white under belly. I did not see enough to ID further, just enough to recognize it wasn't a squirrel or chipmunk.
The data quality assessment is a summary of an observation's accuracy. All
observations start as "casual" grade, and achieve
"research" grade when
the iNat community agrees with the observer's ID, where an "agreeing"
identification is one that matches exactly or is of a child taxon of the
observer's ID. For example, if Scott says it's a mammal and Ken-ichi
says it's Homo sapiens, then Ken-ichi agrees with Scott.
the observation has a date
the observation is georeferenced (i.e. has lat/lon coordinates)

Could this have been a long-tailed weasel? In any case, it is very interesting and more info on this observation would be encouraged.
