* Grey (mostly black) Squirrels are intrusive in big areas of eastern
Ontario, even though they've 'always' been in the Oak woods along the
St-Lawrence and in cities like Ottawa - they've just shown up here in
Bishops Mills in the past decade or so. I find that they occur where
there are Oak or nut trees or bird feeders. Their spread has been
allowed by the planting of Oak and nut trees, rampaging spread of
squirrel-borne not-native-here Black Walnuts, secondary succession
increasing the number of Oaks, and the proliferation of bird feeders.
