Red and Grey Squirrels



I always thought Red Squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) and Grey Squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) were enemies. Certainly red squirrels are known for defending their territory. They barely allow me to live here. But the larger grey squirrel has been a problem in some areas in displacing the red squirrel. In any case, these two do not seem to mind sharing seeds from my bird feeder.
