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.
