I stand corrected, those photos are pretty convincing. My bad on the original identification

K.I.S.S.  It is simply an eastern gray.  Tamiascurus douglasii is our local "pine squirrel", small, loud, and all reddish brown.  The Western gray is limited to a few small areas in western WA.  The eastern gray has invaded many places, usually starting out in cities and working its way out.  We even have a few here on the island, go figure how they got here as I know no one brought them.

Well I am looking to rid us of the rest of them... They are getting our house, neighbors house and all importantly into my landlords house... So looks like I will chalk them up to gray's and take them out... I am almost positive they aren't dougs as they dont bark, chirp and carry on like they do...

I just wanted to make sure they aren't something protected... Would hate to have a freezer full of protected squirrels...  :bdid:

Time to go get me some squirrels...  :mgun2:

When it comes to squirrels, the slow cooker is your friend.  They can be trapped relatively easily.

Oh I know... I make squirrel stew ever fall... I just haven't seen grays like this one, the coloring is a little off...

And ID is VERY inportant......http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=006_1380276405
The first bird may get the worm, but it's the second rat that gets the cheese.
