| Eastern Grey Squirrels are variable in color. Some have a distinct reddish cast to their gray coat. Black ones are common in some northern parts of their range. Eastern Gray squirrels measure 16 to 20 inches, and weigh from 1 1/4 lbs to 1 3/4lbs. The southern flying squirrel is 8 to 10 inches long. They can be various shades of gray or brown above and lighter below. A sharp line of demarcation separates the darker upper color from the lighter belly. Their most distinctive characteristics are the broad webs of skin connecting the fore and hind legs at the wrists, and the distinctly flattened tail. Gray Squirrels will eat a great variety of native foods and adapt quickly to unusual food sources. Typically they feed on mast(wild tree fruits and nuts) in fall and early winter. In spring they prefer tree buds and flowers. Flying Squirrels eat bird eggs and nestlings, insects, and other animal matter when available. Flying squirrels often occupy bird houses, especially bluebird houses. |
