Beautiful Fox Squirrel

Quick disclaimer: NOT my photo (I wish it was) It's from today's local newspaper in the local section:

That's a lovely one. All I ever see is annoying and invasive California Grey squirrel.

Lovely pic, like HM all I see are greys too.

Although they're protected now they did used to be hunted and eaten. Comparatively though, they're not as good as the grey squirrels. Kinda like comparing rabbits to hares; bigger and more meat, but tougher.

As Tree Rats go I prefer our Red ones.

If you want your Grey ones back Santaman I for one will happily help to box them up.

You prefer them to eat? Or to watch? LOL.

No shortage of greys here either. I get 5 or 6 in my one backyard tree every day. They'll run along the top of the fence and taunt the dogs for sport.

Certainly to look at. There would be more meat on a Grey but they are an invasive species.

No telling how much damage Greys have caused our native species but human destruction of their habitat is clearly the worse culprit.

I wish you luck. Greys are too adaptive to be controlled very well.

They are rats with good PR.
