[ValleyNature] GREY SQUIRREL also near Greenwood, plus in Kingston, Berwick, and Greenwich -- Grey Squirrel 21May09 437 Pineridge Kingston NS

[James W. Wolford]

Thanks, Wayne!  Wayne and Sheila in Tremont are not far from  
Greenwood, King's Co.  One of these days I will compile all the  
records I have for gray/grey squirrels with locations and dates.   
Successful breeding has been documented in Wolfville, and is probable  
in Canning and a few other Valley locations.  Cheers? from Jim in  
Wolfville
