With that said, my greys are mostly wonderful acrobatic clowns who entertain me greatly. The reds are nasty little buggers who will take on most anything at the feeders, with exception of the neighborhood hawk who keeps everyone at a distance. But I love them all.

In town we have some Grey's and one seems to enjoy tormenting the cats... It hangs head down on the window screen outside the closed window, just nose-to-nose with the cat which can't do a darned thing about it... An absolute MUST SEE is a show called "Daylight Robbery" which has 2 installments on BBC/Discovery Channel and is a real eye-opener on the ingenuity and determination of these little beasts.

I've only ever seen one white squirrel, on my college campus, and it was decidedly unhealthy. I never knew that they were actually established somewhere. Very interesting. the grey squirrels must be their comeuppance for giving us house sparrows.

They must be different from the little red squirrels that live where I am. Those little guys are NASTY and can chase off a grey squirrel any day. And white squirrels? There were some in the neighborhood where I grew up. They were gorgeous, and I really miss them! Wow! They must be different from the little red squirrels that live where I am.
