Here in Georgia, I believe, they call them fox squirrels because of their red color, along with some gray and red with some flying squirrels thrown in for good measure. I think they are fox and gray living in my trees around the house. They do have a fondness for cherry tomatoes so I will always raise some in a big tub next to the garden as a tribute and they will live the bigger ones alone. Now if I can just get them to share the pecans.
I was watching two squirrels in the park yesterday on my way home. We have grey squirrels. But I have noticed their little faces are reddish. They are not red squirrels but the hair of their little faces has a reddish tinge. The low sun was shining through their fluffy soft grey tails. One did a leap from the ground onto a low hanging branch but at least six feet up,from a standing start,never saw that before. One agile squirrel.
